At Shaper Capital, we’re on a mission to partner with incredible people to build companies that shape the world. Shaper Capital was founded by Travis May, who led the two biggest data companies created in the last 20 years (LiveRamp and Datavant); we’ve launched six companies over the past year, creating data businesses that follow similar playbooks across industries.
By joining Shaper today, you’ll be part of a small, ambitious team driven by the belief that the world’s greatest problems have yet to be solved and the most transformative companies have yet to be built. We empower our portfolio companies to create businesses that transform industries, and we believe in hiring individuals who are smart, nice, and get things done. We invest in hiring high potential and humble individuals who thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and can rapidly grow their responsibilities as we reimagine company creation.
The Shaper portfolio is always interested in meeting elite talent. While there may not be an immediate open role in a portfolio company, we'd love to hear from high-caliber talent interested in joining one of our incredible companies. If you have a sales or go-to-market background and are interested in the functions below, express your interest by sharing your information, and we'll be in touch when there's an opportunity in the portfolio that matches your skillsets.
