Open Core Ventures

About Open Core Ventures

Open Core Ventures (OCV) is a venture capital firm that starts commercial open source software companies. Our team identifies open source software projects with traction, recruits passionate project founders and contributors, and launches new companies. OCV companies aim to create tangible value for the open source community by providing access to resources and reducing the barrier to entrepreneurship. OCV believes in the power of open core, and the impact of open learning and collaboration. Our approach diverges from conventional venture capital because OCV starts companies and recruits founders; OCV does not invest in existing companies. The OCV model enables experienced, capable, and technical founders who otherwise would not have the resources to launch a successful startup. OCV does not make investments in existing open core companies.

Job description

About Open Core Ventures:

Commercial open source software companies have captured hundreds of billions in enterprise value, yet this represents only a fraction of the trillions delivered by OSS today. GitLab co-founder and executive chair Sid Sijbrandij started Open Core Ventures (OCV) to accelerate the Open Core opportunity.

OCV starts companies around promising open source projects—the same approach that took GitLab from OSS project to IPO in seven years. We recruit founders and help them reach escape velocity. We’ve started 30+ companies around open source projects, including Fleet, FlowFuse, and Mermaid Chart. You can read more about our approach in our public handbook.

About the Role:

OCV is seeking a motivated part-time intern who is passionate about content creation and curious about venture capital to join our team. As a Content Marketing Intern, you'll help us create content that serves multiple goals simultaneously: attracting founders, educating portfolio companies, and building a reputation with downstream investors. You’ll gain exposure and experience in venture capital, emerging software, and startups.

Key Responsibilities:

Content creation: Write a weekly article for OCV’s blog; edit and prepare content for publication.
Social media: Create social media content derived from OCV’s handbook.
Ad hoc support: Provide timely writing and editing support on other special projects as needed.

Schedule:

Independent Work: Approximately 10 hours per week, offering flexibility to balance your studies or other commitments.
Team Collaboration: Join us for at least one live Zoom meeting per week (~25 minutes) to share ideas and collaborate with other interns.

Details:

Compensation: $20/hour.
You will be engaged as an Independent Contractor (not an employee).
As an Independent Contractor you will be responsible to provide your own computer and internet access.
Must be authorized to work in the USA as an Independent Contractor.
