At Subtle Capital, our core values motivate everything we do. We want to hear from you if you exhibit:

Quiet Conviction:Grounded confidence that speaks through action rather than volume - backing founders with substance over spectacle. True impact doesn't need to announce itself, and the most meaningful work often happens behind the scenes
Deliberate Partnership:Every relationship we build is approached with intention - showing up consistently, not just at milestones but in the difficult middle. We invest our time, expertise, and networks with the same care we invest capital
Disciplined Curiosity:We seek to understand not just what is being built, but why it matters - digging beneath surface-level trends to identify what will endure. Intellectual rigor means challenging assumptions, including our own
Principled Transparency:Honesty guides every interaction, paired with the courage to deliver difficult truths with empathy and respect. Trust is built through consistency between what we say and what we do, especially when no one is watching
Thoughtful Inclusion:The best ideas emerge when diverse perspectives are welcomed and valued. We recognize our blind spots with humility and address them in daily practice
Long-Term Thinking:Building enduring value matters more than chasing short-term wins - we resist the noise of hype cycles in favor of fundamentals. Patience to support founders through the nonlinear journey of company building is at our core

Bachelor’s degree required
Strong academic track record
Detail oriented, but able to see how things fit into the “big picture”
Strong organizational skills (management of multiple tasks, priorities, people, and flows of information)
Excellent written and oral communication skills
Passionate about technology and innovation
