About Discipulus Ventures
Discipulus Ventures is an early-stage fund located in El Segundo, at the heart of a rapidly growing hard tech ecosystem. We back founders building companies that serve the national interest — from onshoring essential industries to strengthening critical infrastructure and defense capabilities. Our portfolio and network include companies such as Durin, Rainmaker, and Valar Atomics, and we are backed by world-class institutions including a16z, Point72, and Lux Capital.
The Role
Spring Interns at Discipulus Ventures will take on a generalist role. You will support our spring cohort of investee companies while gaining hands-on exposure to every layer of what it takes to build a mission-driven accelerator.
What You'll Do
- Cohort Support: Work directly alongside founders in our spring accelerator cohort — helping with market research, strategic projects, operational needs, and investor communications
- Portfolio Operations: Support existing portfolio companies with ad hoc projects, partnership introductions, and resource coordination
- Fund Operations: Contribute to internal processes including LP communications, event planning, and content creation
- Ecosystem Engagement: Attend founder events, demo days, and community gatherings across the El Segundo and greater Los Angeles area
What We're Looking For
- Interest: Demonstrated curiosity at the intersection of technology, finance, and entrepreneurship.
- Value-Alignment: Discipulus Ventures invests solely in companies dedicated to the national interest. You should feel a genuine pull toward this mission.
- Grit: There is no GPA requirement. We want hard workers who are excited about the mission, hungry to learn, and ready to prove themselves.
- Adaptability: Comfort with ambiguity and a willingness to wear many hats. In a small fund, initiative and resourcefulness matter most.
- Communication: Strong written and verbal skills — you'll interact with founders, LPs, and partners regularly.
