Assembly procedure

    -
  1. - 1. - -

    Identify the technical founder. Confirm engineering risk is present. If the founder is solving a market problem with no engineering risk, this part does not fit our chassis.

    -
    2. -
  2. - 2. - -

    Mount tools T-01 through T-05 to the part. Lead with the partner whose tool matches the geometry. Adjacent partners stabilize.

    -
    3. -
  3. - 3. - -

    Insert a single check (per-unit, $3M–$5M). Hold pressure for one funding round. Two thirds of pack reserved for follow-on torque.

    -
    4. -
  4. - 4. - -

    Apply T-06 and T-07 to operations. Light loads only. Repeat steps 1–3 a selective few times per annum.

Open position: Venture Capital Associate, San Francisco.

-

We're looking for someone technical — CS, engineering experience, or equivalent — with genuine curiosity, a knack for explaining complex tech simply, and the kind of resourcefulness that figures things out without asking for the manual twice.

-

Bonus parts: open source contributions, active technical communities, prior startup time. Submit application to hello@root.vc.

-
-
-

Tip: removing the small Allen wrench from the box and pretending you don't have it is a recognized failure mode. We will find another one.
