Investment Summer Associate - AI Tooling
About The Position
Founded in 2016 with offices in Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco, M13 is an early-stage (seed and Series A) venture capital firm that invests in visionary founders building disruptive software businesses. We are a full-stack partner with a deep bench of full-time operators to help you scale efficiently and build category-defining companies. We’re seeking an Investment Summer Associate to join M13 for the summer at our San Francisco office and work directly with M13’s Investment Team on building AI-native internal tools that enhance how we source, diligence, and invest in companies. This internship blends product building, venture capital exposure, and founder engagement. In addition to company diligence and research, you will design and build a proprietary sourcing tool that helps the Investment Team identify high-potential founders and companies faster and more intelligently. You won’t be working on a theoretical project; your work will result in a real, functional product the investment team uses daily. This internship is ideal for rising undergraduate seniors, or current graduate students.
