To Apply

Please send your resume, LinkedIn profile, and a brief note explaining:

Why you're interested in venture capital.

A startup or market you're excited about and why.

An investment you would have made in the past 3 years and your reasoning.

One thing that would help me tailor this further: Is Orange Collective primarily investing in B2B SaaS/AI, consumer, healthcare, fintech, or is the thesis more founder-first and sector agnostic? A good VC associate posting usually reflects the firm's actual sourcing strategy.
