About Sequence
Our mission is to own, transform, and operate the companies that will define the American service economy.
AI will reshape every industry. But its deepest impact won't come from better models - it will come from transforming how real businesses serve real customers. Faster decisions. Personal service at scale. Better outcomes for the people who depend on these institutions every day. We believe this is the defining opportunity of our generation.
The traditional playbook can't capture it. SaaS companies expect every business to conform to their product. Consultants scope to an engagement and leave. Neither has the access, context, or incentive to reach the root of how a business actually operates. That requires ownership.
Sequence was built to close that gap. We are a permanent holding company - a home for great businesses and the exceptional people who run them. We take meaningful stakes, embed our technology and engineering team, and work alongside management to rewire operations from the inside. Not as a vendor. Not on a timeline. As owners.
We've raised $75M - our seed round led by Conviction and 8VC, and our Series A led by Lux Capital - joined by Definition Capital, Chris Ré (Factory), and other leading institutional partners.
About the Role
You will find, evaluate, and close acquisitions for Sequence Holdings - and then help build the businesses you acquire. This is not a traditional investing role. We are a permanent holding company, which means every deal you work on is one you will live with. There is no exit timeline, no portfolio rotation. The quality of your judgment compounds.
You will own the full investment lifecycle: sourcing proprietary opportunities, building relationships with founders and owners, underwriting businesses, leading diligence, and driving transactions to close. But the work doesn’t stop at signing. You will stay close to the businesses post-acquisition — shaping operating models, working alongside management, and helping define how Sequence’s technology platform transforms each company from the inside.
We are reimagining how M&A gets done. There are no layers between you and the work. No VP reviewing your model before a partner sees it, no analysts drafting your memos. You run your own processes, build your own relationships, and make recommendations directly to the people who make decisions. The structure is flat because the work demands it.
As Sequence grows, this role scales with it. You will develop deep expertise in the sectors we target, build a network of owners, bankers, and operators, and help shape the M&A strategy that defines what Sequence becomes.
Requirements
Genuine interest in AI and frontier technology. Excited to work at the intersection of investing and technology, and eager to use the best tools available to do better work
Strong financial and analytical foundation. Can build models, underwrite businesses, and evaluate complex deal structures independently
Relationship builder. Earns trust with founders, family owners, and senior executives, people making the most consequential decisions of their careers
Exceptional written communicator. Investment memos, board materials, and deal correspondence at Sequence are held to an institutional standard
Intellectually curious about how businesses actually operate, not just how they look in a spreadsheet
Entrepreneurial and self-directed. Thrives with autonomy, not instructions. Takes ownership of outcomes, not tasks
Raw horsepower and tenacity. Small team, large mandate, no hiding
Willing to travel regularly to meet owners, attend industry events, and spend time on-site at portfolio companies
Our Values
Customer-Centric. We have two customers: our portfolio companies, and the customers they serve. We succeed only when our customer’s customer does. Our job is to make our operating companies better at serving theirs.
Excellence. Highest quality in everything we do, with rigorous efficiency.
Earned Luck. Good luck is what happens when opportunity meets preparation. We do not control markets, timing, or chance; we control whether we are ready when they turn our way. Do the work before it is needed.
Relentless Effort. Most things are outside our control: markets, competition, timing, luck. Effort is not. It is one of the few variables entirely up to us, and we leave nothing on the table. We are a small team going after massive opportunities. Outwork everyone. Urgency is not a phase; it is how we operate.
Ownership. You are an owner of Sequence. Act like it. Treat our spaces and our money as your own; they are. Take pride in the work you ship. No task is beneath you, no detail too small. The small things compound.
Long-Term Thinking. Most people prioritize near-term wins and the dopamine of constant positive feedback. The ability to think long-term is rare, and rarity is a durable advantage. Hold direction through good cycles and bad. Pay the short-term tax on the investments that compound. Always ask: what puts us on the steepest slope three years from now?
Integrity. Do the right thing, especially when no one is watching. Be honest with investors, partners, employees, and communities. Reputation compounds faster than revenue and is harder to rebuild.
Intellectual Honesty. The best idea wins, regardless of who says it. Debate openly, push back regardless of hierarchy. Share credit generously; take responsibility collectively. When we are wrong, we say so and move on. Concealing mistakes is the only unacceptable failure.
Compassion. Businesses are made of people. Treat your teammates and the employees at our operating companies with genuine care. Lead with empathy. Listen before prescribing.
