About the role
We are looking for a Quantitative Researcher to join the Customer Value Fund (CVF) team at General Catalyst. CVF is building an entirely new asset class—financing growth-stage companies' sales and marketing spend without diluting their equity. You'll be part of a small, fast-paced technical team (6 people) that sits at the intersection of quantitative modeling, software engineering, and venture investing. This is a rare role that combines hard quant skills with commercial instinct, negotiation, and the autonomy to shape the fund's future. If you want to help redefine how growth companies are financed and thrive in a startup-within-a-firm environment, this is for you.
What will you be doing?
- Underwriting new companies: analyzing customer cohort data, modeling unit economics, quantifying risk, and determining whether to invest
- Managing the existing portfolio: monitoring company performance, negotiating with founders and CFOs, and flagging risks early
- Building software and tooling to automate and improve the underwriting and portfolio management process
- Communicating complex quantitative findings to non-technical stakeholders, including company leadership teams and internal partners
- Driving open-ended, high-impact projects of your own design—20% of the role is dedicated to self-directed work that pushes the fund forward in ways no one else has thought of
