At BIV, we do a lot with not very many people. We work hard to make sure that anyone who starts a water company anywhere on earth has BIV at the top of their list. We value their time and effort to be in contact with us, and so we need to be efficient and constructive in our appraisal of whether or not they will be a fit for what we're looking for. Our Spring Associate will work with Tom and other members of the team to support evaluations of companies just below the top of our funnel. We look forward to finding out more about you.
