About Enduring Ventures Enduring Ventures is a permanent capital holding company inspired by Berkshire Hathaway. We partner with exceptional leaders to acquire and grow enduring businesses. Our preferred holding period is forever-we're not in the business of flipping companies, we're in the business of compounding value for the long term.
Today, we own 20+ companies across software, home services, education, wellness, and hospitality-including independent hotel brands in Zion National Park and the Hamptons. We operate with a bias toward action, extreme ownership, and long-term alignment.
We prioritize hunger, humility, and horsepower over credentials. If you've built something from scratch, outworked everyone around you, or carried real weight in a high-stakes environment-we want to meet you.
Role Overview This is a full-time, remote Sr Associate role with massive responsibility and visibility. You'll be a force-multiplier for the Partners across the full lifecycle of deals and portfolio management.
We're a small, elite team-so this isn't a "manage the model" kind of role. This is a Swiss Army knife operator-investor seat. You'll be running deals, negotiating with sellers, diving into operations, and making investment committee cases that get funded.
What You'll Do- Source, evaluate, and execute private investments in lower middle market companies ($20M-$700M revenues)
- Lead financial and commercial diligence-deep dives into business models, unit economics, and operational risk
- Create investment memos and board presentations that distill complexity into clarity
- Work directly with portfolio company CEOs to support value creation, M&A, and restructuring
- Participate in LP fundraising and investor communications
- Travel to visit companies and meet operators (expected: 3-5x/month)
- Be a "first in, last out" contributor when deals are on the line
Why This Role is Rare- You'll sit at the table with the founders. This isn't a middle layer-we run lean and work directly together.
- You'll touch everything. From carveouts to capital structure, from seller psychology to sales efficiency.
- You'll build real equity. We offer profit-sharing, carry, and long-term alignment across the firm.
- You'll shape the future of a modern permanent capital company. Not a traditional fund. No exit timelines. Pure alignment.
You Might Be a Fit If - You have 3+ years of experience in private equity, investment banking, or M&A law with direct deal execution experience
- You've run point on a full deal or own a section of a portfolio you transformed
- You've built or scaled something from scratch (side hustle, startup, student org, nonprofit, team)
- You've been "the person"-the one people relied on in a crisis or close
- You model with precision and operate with urgency
- You're hungry-financially, competitively, or personally-and can explain why
- You adapt to any room: a billionaire family office in Beverly Hills or a small-town plumbing company owner
- You're a sponge-constantly learning, reading, building frameworks, asking better questions
- You're energized by 12-hour days and solving ambiguous problems
Must-Haves- Elite analytical skills and commercial instincts
- Financial modeling and deal execution fluency
- High EQ and leadership presence; excellent verbal and written communication
- Demonstrated ownership of high-pressure outcomes
- Willingness to travel and work across time zones (we move fast)
- Based in (or willing to relocate to) Los Angeles preferred
Bonus Points- CFA, CPA, or MBA
- M&A legal experience
- Operator experience inside a small business or portfolio company
- Familiarity with distressed deals, carveouts, or family business transitions
