About Roadrunner Venture Studios
Roadrunner Venture Studios turns science into industry-defining companies as quickly as possible. We partner with bold founders to build startups in energy, climate, manufacturing, computing—and now, with a $25M commitment from the State of New Mexico, we're scaling a new frontier in quantum innovation.
Why this Role?
In this roughly 10-15 hour per week assignment, you will be the tip of the spear for our recruiting —mapping markets, spotting outliers early, and building a humming network across quantum, advanced manufacturing, cutting edge energy, advanced materials and other breakthrough areas of deep tech.. Your superpower is pattern-recognition: finding future unicorns before everyone else.
What you’ll do:
• Talent map technical & business leaders; build target lists by company, lab, and research lineage.
• Market map emerging sub-sectors; track who’s building what, where, and why it matters.
• Source founders, founding hires, and SMEs across universities, national labs, open-source communities, and stealth startups.
• Assess signal (not hype): translate patents, papers and traction into action
• Engage founders (technical and commercial) with thoughtful outreach, curiosity, and follow-through.
• Organize our Pipeline: keep Sheets/Airtable/ATS records crisp, tagged, and searchable; maintain warm-lists.
• Champion the brand: show up as Roadrunner in online communities, events, and intros—leave people impressed.
What you bring:
• A hunter’s mindset and a nose for quality. You love digging, connecting dots, and closing loops.
• Fluency in deep tech curiosity—comfortable reading abstracts, scanning arXiv/PubMed/GitHub, and decoding jargon.
• Founder empathy: you can talk to PhDs and operators, ask sharp questions, and earn trust fast.
• VC literacy: stages, cap tables, round mechanics, why now/why us—clear and concise.
• Structured systems: you keep lists current, notes tight, and signals comparable across candidates.
• Strong written outreach that gets replies (and referrals).
• Familiarity with tools like LinkedIn Recruiter, Airtable, Lever/Greenhouse, Crunchbase/PitchBook, and AI Tools like Metaview, SquarePeg and Juicebox
How we’ll measure success
• Clear market & talent maps in priority areas.
• High-signal intros that move to interview.
• Warm network growth (referrals & repeat replies).
• Clean, searchable data that the team actually uses.
