Vice President, Studio

The Company is seeking a Vice President to build and lead a studio that supports promising public-interest technology initiatives from early development through adoption and long-term sustainability. The role will oversee an active portfolio, assess progress and potential, set investment and support priorities, and make disciplined decisions to advance, pause, or stop initiatives. The Vice President will guide teams toward durable operating structures and sustainable funding, build a high-performing team, and establish effective collaboration across the organization. They will also communicate portfolio outcomes and decisions clearly to leadership, board members, and funders. Candidates should have senior-level experience building or leading a studio, incubator, lab, accelerator, or early-stage founder program, with hands-on experience supporting teams. They need technical fluency to engage with engineers and assess work involving open-source technology and internet infrastructure, along with a strong network of builders, users, deployers, and funders. The role requires knowledge of multiple forms of capital, experience with at least one model beyond venture equity, and the judgment to make difficult investment decisions. Proven team leadership and a commitment to an open, trustworthy internet are essential; experience with nonprofit governance, fundraising, or technology adoption by large organizations is also valuable.
