  • We’re looking for student investors to join our Odds On VC team. The ideal candidate is an undergrad student with a passion for venture capital, entrepreneurship, and building rewarding relationships. Odds On VC is a venture program that provides student investors with capital and resources to invest in peer-led startups. Student investors will have the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of the industry and gain access to the PJC venture team with a combined 40+ years of venture capital experience.

  • As an Odds On VC investor, you will help source and assess investment opportunities at your college / university while establishing a relationship with the student entrepreneurial community. You will evaluate potential investments, participate in investment decisions with peers and program leadership, and can invest real capital into student-led startups, creating invaluable relationships with entrepreneurs and driving meaningful innovation.

  • We understand undergrad is a busy time, so we want to keep things efficient while maximizing your experience. We expect student investors to keep up with the following (committing roughly 5-10 hours a month):

    • Attend virtual team meetings 1x a month

    • Attend university / city-wide pitch competitions 1-2x a month

    • Evaluate potential investments and prepare pitches for the investment committee

    • Build and maintain relationships with startup founders

    • Who can hit the ground running and has strong communication skills

    • Who can develop and maintain strong external relationships

    • With a natural ability for working with unstructured, real-world data

    • Who thrives thinking outside of the box
