Edition 195: Ali Rohde Jobs
Roles at OpenAI, Brex, Cartesia, Medra, Databricks, Decagon, Dosu, Kindred
Welcome to Edition 195! Sending a bit early this week before I’m off to Tulum for a friend’s wedding… any recs welcome.
Quick intro for the new folks: I’m Ali, founding General Partner at Outset Capital, a fund backed by folks like Adam D’Angelo from Quora and Drew Houston from Dropbox. We invest in pre-seed and seed companies in AI, devtools, and deeptech. This newsletter is a rewarding project I’ve been doing since 2021, inspired by my own time as a Chief of Staff.
As always, if you have a relevant CoS / BizOps / VC job you’d want to share, fill out the form here - Ali
Last call for the NEXT job-seeker cohort!
I regularly advocate for the NEXT job-seeker community because dozens of my executive and mid-career subscribers have joined and reported back about the fantastic experience.
NEXT is a collaborative way to go through your job search with a highly-curated peer group, speaker events with top VCs, access to startup job opportunities, small group masterminds, and 1:1 negotiation coaching.
The 5th NEXT cohort kicks off in a couple weeks and is nearly full. They’re holding the last few slots for ARJ subscribers.
