I’m on my way back to the States from Nicaragua. This place rocks.

This is our weekly email of what you missed at Confluence.VC over the past week. This includes:

1. Deal flow through Commonapp.VC

2. VC job opportunities shared on our job board

3. New investors that joined the community

4. Other information that you can use

As a reminder, this only touches the surface on what Confluence.VC members get.

If you’re looking to get the whole picture and join the #1 invite-only venture community in the world, take a minute to apply.

This week's episode is brought to you by … Confluence.VC Recruiting.

We’ve studied hundreds of venture funds.

The best ones have one thing in common:

They’re run by the best people.

Everybody wants to overthink different ways to generate alpha, but there’s one tried-and-true method to doing that, and that is investing in the people that run your fund.

When it comes time to hire, though, most funds aren’t seeing the top candidates, and they’re left with whatever comes in through their network.

The end result?

Lower-quality candidates, more training required for new hires, and ultimately lower returns for the fund and its LPs.

That’s where we come in.

We run the investor hiring process from start-to-finish, and we help funds find, vet, and hire from the top community of venture talent.

We aim to fill roles in 60 days or less, we don’t charge retainer, and we can guarantee at least five introductions to hyper-relevant candidates for any venture role.

*Only for venture capital and growth equity funds hiring full-time roles

Your playbook to improving your luck

Building a community is the best way we’ve found to level up your career by providing value at scale.

The issue is that actually creating a community is hard.

That’s why we created the Community Builder Playbook to share everything we’ve learned about starting, scaling, and monetizing an online community.

This includes 23 lessons with templates, Loom recordings, and other resources you won’t find anywhere else.

The best tools used by the best companies

We talk to software companies all day long.

We’re guinea pigs for different products, and we’ve built our business on the idea of improving efficiency.

That’s why we created the Ultimate List of Tools to share the best software products we’ve found and use to run our business.

This list gives you full breakdowns, and we’ve found discounts you can use if you’re ready to start becoming a paid customer to any of these tools.

This means perks to start using products like Brex, Notion, Surfer, Gusto, and dozens of other tools you need to level up your business.

Check it out here, and let us know what you think.

Thanks for reading this far and giving us a little bit of your attention this week.
