At USV we have talked about and invested in the power of networks. We have also been applying this network thesis to our portfolio companies, building out the USV network. 

One area where I am particularly happy with how we have “walked the walk” is in recruiting for the analyst position. Instead of relying on more traditional channels or criteria (e.g. past job titles or degrees) we have been using a completely open application process.

This means we can leverage the network at large. So if you know USV and you know someone you think would make a great analyst, please encourage them to read up on the opportunity and to apply for the analyst position.
