Chief of Staff / Investment Associate

About us

Pragmatech Venture Capital is an early-stage VC fund investing in B2B SaaS founders from CEE who are building for global markets. We run a focused pre-seed/seed strategy with a hands-on approach: supporting companies with GTM, hiring, and fundraising.

The fund is led by two partners with founder/operator DNA: Evgeny Sergeev (founder of Ideals and co-founder of Genesis) and Artem Yaremchuk (repeat B2B SaaS founder; built and exited Attendify, acquired by Hopin).

The role

This is a full-time hybrid role, combining Chief of Staff / Investment Operations and Investment Associate / Analytics in roughly equal parts. You’ll help the GPs move faster and make better decisions by building and running a crisp operating system for the fund - keeping everything organized, responsive, and consistent across pipeline discipline, diligence, portfolio support, LP reporting, and internal initiatives - while also producing high-signal analysis on markets and metrics, drafting memos, and driving key workstreams to closure. If you want a real entry into venture capital and you enjoy both structured execution and sharp analysis, this is it.

How we work

We’re remote-first and output-focused - we measure progress by outcomes, not presence. Our principles are simple: integrity always; high standards, low ego; bias to action; straight talk with respect (no politics or hidden agendas); founder empathy; and creative problem-solving from first principles. We stay curious, keep learning, and actively seek feedback to get better.

Responsibilities

1. Dealflow & Process

• Own the deal pipeline end-to-end: stages, required fields, next steps, follow-ups, weekly pipeline review.
• Coordinate diligence: scheduling calls, tracking open questions, collecting documents, pushing things to closure.

• Standardize how we work: diligence checklists, memo templates, IC notes, and “what good looks like”.

   

2. Investment analysis & diligence 

• Build quick, high-signal views on ICP, market, competitors, pricing, GTM motion.
• Sanity-check SaaS metrics and unit economics (retention/churn, gross margin, CAC payback, LTV/CAC, burn multiple).
• Review startup models and P&Ls to spot gaps, inconsistent assumptions, missing costs, and weak logic.

• Draft deal briefs / 1-pagers / memo sections (including “risks & open questions”) so decisions are crisp.

   

3. Portfolio support 

• Run a lightweight portfolio tracking rhythm: quarterly KPI snapshots, runway, key risks, and near-term priorities.
• Help coordinate support requests: intros (customers/partners), hiring pipelines, fundraising prep, and key deliverables.

• Turn chaos into action lists and close the loop with founders.

   

4. LP reporting & fundraising support 

• Maintain an LP/fundraising tracker (status, next steps, materials, meeting notes).
• Support periodic LP updates: gather facts, structure narratives, make reporting consistent and easy to read.

• Keep the LP data room tidy and “always ready” (materials, FAQs, portfolio snapshots).

   

5. Fund operations coordination (with external admin/providers)

• Keep fund documentation structured (folders, versions, templates, access control).
• Coordinate deliverables with fund admin/lawyers as needed (you don’t do accounting - you ensure nothing slips and outputs are clean).
• Design and automate fund’s processes - strive to make most of the processes as “human-less” as possible.

Requirements

• 2+ years in roles combining execution + analysis (BizOps/Chief of Staff, Consulting, FP&A/RevOps, Corp Dev, VC/PE analyst, or strong ops role in a startup).
• Strong Excel/Google Sheets; comfortable with SaaS metrics and “smell tests”.
• Highly organized and systems-minded: you build simple, tidy processes, automate repeatable work where possible (Zapier, n8n, Make, etc.), and consistently close loops - and you’re eager to learn if you haven’t done this before.
• High ownership and integrity: you propose, execute, follow through.

• Clear writing in English (B2+): concise docs, summaries, emails, memos.

   

Nice-to-have

• Strong grasp of B2B SaaS unit economics and the ability to spot inconsistencies in models/P&Ls quickly.
• Experience with market mapping, pragmatic TAM/SAM/SOM sizing (clear assumptions, sources) and competitor deep-dives.

• Basic literacy in early-stage deal terms and documents (SAFE/SHA/SPA, pro-rata, liquidation preference, ESOP).

   

Why join

• Work directly with founder-GPs and get a front-row view of how early-stage investment decisions are made.
• Broad, full-cycle scope: dealflow → diligence → closing coordination → portfolio support → investor communications.
• High ownership from day one - you’ll help build and run the fund’s operating cadence and standards.
• Accelerated learning and pattern recognition across B2B SaaS, GTM, and unit economics through real deals.
• Build a high-quality network across CEE founders, operators, and co-investors that compounds over time.
• Clear growth trajectory as the fund scale; long-term upside may be available depending on fit and structure.
