“Venture Investment Analyst.” Sounds a little stiff, right? Spreadsheets, decks, buzzwords. Maybe even a sharp suit or two. That’s not what this is about.
At Laplace Partners, we’re drawn to early ideas before they’re fully formed.
We spend time with thoughts that aren’t clean yet.
We notice how people move more than how they pitch.
We pay attention to what others might overlook.
We invest in founders at the very beginning. They’re not perfect. Neither are we. But they’re serious. And so are we.
Now we’re looking for one more person to join us. Someone thoughtful. Curious. Not loud, but clear. Not finished, but real.
Maybe that’s you.
You might be a good fit if you:
Think deeply, and don’t mind the quiet
Sit with questions longer than most
Pick up on things others overlook
Make a team feel a little more grounded
Know what it means to start over—stronger, and maybe a little softer
Your résumé might shine. Or it might not. We’re more interested in how you think, how you notice, and how you move through the world.
How we work
We don’t do drama. Or noise for the sake of it.
We give each other space and trust each other to use it well.
We ask questions, adjust when needed, and keep going.
“New hire” doesn’t mean recent grad. Maybe you’ve tried something before. Maybe you’re switching tracks. That’s fine. We’re open to different beginnings.
Where we are
Mapo-gu, Seoul. Three minutes from Hongdae Station. Not your typical VC neighborhood and that’s part of why we like it. Bookstores. Quiet cafés. Music in the street. Hidden restaurants tucked into alleys. It fits how we work.
What we offer
6-month probation, structured in two parts:
First 3 months: KRW 30M/year equivalent
Next 3 months: KRW 40M/year
After that: KRW 60M/year full-time
It’s a chance for both sides to get to know each other. If it’s not the right match, no hard feelings.
And a few things that matter:
Lunch and dinner are covered. Just bring breakfast.
Friday’s end after lunch. We call it Breeze Friday.
Learning Korean or English? We’ll support that.
Not fluent in Korean? We’ll match you with a kind, patient tutor.
Planning for grad school or an MBA? Laplace Fellowship might help you get there.
Need time off? A one-month sabbatical is possible and we may support it.
Want to grow in a new skill? If it matters to you, it matters to us.
How to apply
If this feels like the kind of place you’d like to grow with, you can apply directly to us or through Linkedin.

We’ll be here when you’re ready.
