We love data. We even wrote the book on loving data. And we run our business, just the way you do yours — with data. We have data on over ten million companies all over the world. We use smart algorithms to identify and invest in global winners.
After investing, we continue to track your data, compare it with your competition and the market and feed our insights back to you. Many of our companies are outside silicon valley, we act as their bridge to the valley. You can also benefit from experience of our partners — from sharing an office at Stanford with Sergey Brin, working for Jeff Bezos, to investing in Mark Zuckerberg in 2005. Seriously though, we have created and scaled startups worth $1B at exit, and were instrumental in creating Amazon.com’s marketplace, Mechanical Turk, and @WalmartLabs.
If you want to be an entrepreneur, rocketship.vc is the best place to be. You can see amazing ideas and opportunities that some of the best founders are building companies around globally. You can learn from what works and what doesn’t qualitatively as well as quantitatively and perhaps identify your own opportunity. The full circle of course will be when rocketship.vc will be chasing you to fund you!
If you rather want to be an investor, rocketship.vc offers the fastest path to becoming an investment partner since all of us engineers believe that the people who build the algorithms should also make investments to make sure that feedback loop is as tight as possible.
You will get a chance to work with world class data scientists and engineers who are winners of multiple test of time awards as well as authoring the leading textbook on data mining.
At rocketship.vc, you will be part of the team that builds the investment analytics platform, collects and processes startup data and develops and evaluates ML models to identify investment candidates. You will also get to participate in the investment process, communicate with entrepreneurs of the candidate companies and be a part of the investment decision. You will also get a birds-eye view of the global startup ecosystem.
Work From Home
Though we’ve been getting almost all of our work done remotely, we do have an office in Los Altos, California when you want the space. Many staff are local to the San Francisco Bay Area, and gather at informal get-togethers on occasion to catch up.
