Co-Founder

Lever Advisers is a venture studio co-managed by the managing partner of Lever VC (a leading alternative protein investor). Each year, Lever seeks to identify 1-2 excellent would-be entrepreneurs and works alongside them to launch a company in the alternative protein space. Ideas are welcome but not necessary – the Lever team canvasses the market and actively identifies opportunities for the right entrepreneur.

In exchange for an equity stake in the company, co-founders will have access to access to the Lever network of investors and operators as well as operational support from the Lever Advisers team that works exclusively to commercialize alternative protein products.

Co-founders will be entrepreneurs with the support of the Lever organization - we will work collaboratively to match candidate skillsets with the most attractive markets for entry, find other team members as needed, help fundraise through the Lever investor network, and bring any other resources to bear that are needed (branding, formulation, etc.). Co-founders will then run the day to day operations of the business as CEO / majority owner.

• Bachelor's degree with graduate education preferred.
• 4+ years of experience in consumer packaged goods, finance, and/or consulting. 
• Interest in/enthusiasm for commercializing new technology. Founders will be working alongside the Lever team to create and commercialize brand new products starting with a blank sheet of paper.
• Strong leadership ability and passion for creating/maintaining team-oriented culture.
• Excellent presentation skills. Founders will need to be comfortable representing the business in fundraising meetings and trade shows.
