- Shape Costanoa. Build theses, host gatherings, improve our systems, and push us to think differently.

- Veterans who bring firsthand understanding of defense end-users, procurement, and mission requirements are especially encouraged to apply.
- Startups, big tech, consulting, banking, or early-stage investing more broadly
If this sounds like you, we encourage you to apply. Tell us why you’re excited about a career in early-stage VC and why you think you’d be a great addition to Costanoa and our national security practice.
