We’re looking for an Associate at @LongJourneyVC who can help us up-level our mission to be second believers in the magically weird. Like our Gardener and Alchemist roles, we considered giving this one a cheeky name (maybe “Fire Hose Guzzler” lol) but we ultimately decided to

Rizz = magnetic leadership. Tizz = neurodivergent superpower. Together, they’re the rare combo behind the founders who actually bend reality. I finally wrote about the framework we use at Long Journey to explain why we fall in love with certain founders:

When people ask what we look for in founders at Long Journey, I have a simple answer: Rizz and Tizz. Yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like (charisma and autism, for the uninitiated), but trust me...

At @LongJourneyVC we put real skin in the game!
Today is the day. https://t.co/pemXFmUb3A May our flag and our freedom forever wave. Thank you @jamesproud, the whole team @substrate, @ChrisOvitz and the whole team at @LongJourneyVC! Another fund defining moment for us.

A secretive American startup says it has chipmaking technology to rival ASML and take on TSMC. Bloomberg’s @EdLudlow breaks the story on Substrate's particle accelerator-powered lithography machine and plans for an American foundry https://t.co/IP6vL4DLDF

Incredibly bullish on @substrate and @jamesproud and his team. The word is finally out!
Substrate is building a next-generation foundry to return America to dominance in semiconductor production. To achieve this, we will use our technology—a new form of advanced X-ray lithography—to power them. America invented semiconductors. We will lead again.

We are hiring an Alchemist at Long Journey. I'm giddy about this role! 🧙⚡️ Not to transmute lead into gold. This role blends executive support + content alchemy to channel the creative energy of our firm into to-do lists, project plans, and stories. https://t.co/4uW3DDQZ6J

Heave raised $13M to end construction downtime. It's a unique take on a huge market with an absolute animal of a founder. We seeded the business with @ariellezuck / @LongJourneyVC and are stoked to back it again with @OutsidersFund.

At @LongJourneyVC, we talk about being second believers. The truth is, it starts with believing in ourselves enough to stand beside a founder's greatness. This process started years ago, when I started wrestling with how envy was clouding my judgement.

This was so much fun! Thanks for the ride (and the ice cream), @MarwanRefaat!
Got ice cream with @ariellezuck, General Partner at @LongJourneyVC ($450M AUM) after @maxmarchione co-founder of Superpower abandoned our drive. We chatted the investment philosophy of Long Journey, her unique approach to community building, and the inspiration behind the

We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we take our jobs of being second believers in the magically weird very seriously. We get to invest belief in the underdogs, the absurd, the outliers, and are building systems to not miss them. Come garden with us @LongJourneyVC. 🌿

You’re the person who says “wait… what’s going on over there?” And then you dig in, work with the founder, separate the signal from the noise, flag it to the team, and quietly guide that $50K seedling into a $3M+ tree. Overalls optional. Watering can encouraged.

This isn’t your trad “investment associate” job. Your first priority won’t be seeking out deals (or tweeting “hot takes”). You’ll be tracking what’s already been planted—scout checks, Wayfinder seeds, weird little ideas just starting to sprout. Some will bloom. You’ll be the
