Private Equity Associate - Software Investing
A well‑capitalized private equity firm focused exclusively on software investments is looking to bring on a Private Equity Associate (1st Year) to join their investment team in San Francisco, CA.
The firm pursues control buyout investments in high‑quality software businesses and is known for its disciplined underwriting, operational focus, and long‑term ownership mindset. Due to the lean nature of the team, Associates work directly with Partners and Founders across all stages of the investment process, with very meaningful responsibility from day one.
Role Highlights
Full‑cycle exposure across sourcing, diligence, execution, and portfolio work
Deep involvement in financial modeling, valuation, and investment memos
Direct interaction with management teams, advisors, and senior decision‑makers
Opportunity to develop as a long‑term investor within a high‑caliber, collaborative team
Ideal Background
1–3 years of experience in software investment banking (M&A, LevFin, or sector coverage)
Strong financial modeling and analytical skills
Clear interest in software private equity and long‑term investing
Strong academic background and attention to detail
This is a 1st‑year Associate role. Candidates should be comfortable entering at that level. If you are not open to a first‑year PE Associate position, this role is likely not the right fit at this time.
