π Foreword
Hey there, my name is Pavel!
I'm the founder of Murph Capital. After ~7 years in VC (mostly in IR), I started a new media + community layer for the new generation of VCs and LPs.
Think something closer to TBPN / a16z New Media, but fully focused on capital allocators and VC fund builders. We've grown to ~15k across Substack, LinkedIn, and X, with regular viral reach.
Weβre backed by Harmonic, Rings AI, and Cura, and we host private investor events with Sydecar and Rho.
You can find more information about us on our website or by checking my X or LinkedIn profile.

π Location: Remote.
β° Employment: 40 hours per month or full time
πΈ Salary: Depends on skill level, targeting the middle range.
π οΈ Responsibilities
General
- Live and breathe internet culture while building a high-signal content system for a VC/LP audience.
- Own monthly content & marketing calendar (always 4+ weeks ahead).
- Create tweets, threads, LinkedIn posts, newsletters, and long-form content β starting with guidance, quickly moving to full ownership.
- Hunt for new formats, hooks, and meta trends that actually work in VC, tech, and finance Twitter/X.
- Monitor trends and news daily (new funding rounds, funds closed, moves, etc).
- Ruthlessly test, measure, and double down on what drives engagement and growth.
- Use AI tools daily (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, etc.) to 10x output and creativity.
- Stay extremely online β track niche Twitter circles, Discords, Farcaster, and emerging platforms.
Social Media
- Run X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and Substack like a native. Be ready to expand into Instagram/TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
- Post consistently and engage like a maniac (replying, quote-tweeting, building relationships with key accounts).
- Develop deep understanding of what makes content go viral in terminally online circles.
- Help craft and ship a high-quality monthly Substack newsletter.
- Spot collaboration and growth opportunities in real time.
Video & Audio
- Clip and package moments from investor conversations, podcast recordings, and event footage into short-form content for X, Substack, and LinkedIn.
- Track clips, drafts, transcripts, and publishing status in one place so nothing falls through the cracks.
Website
- Keep the website clean, fast, and on-brand.
- Think like a media editor, not just a webmaster β gradually turn the site into a full-fledged media outlet, not just a static landing page.
- Maintain internal knowledge base (Notion/Airtable).
Other / Bonus
- Strong meme fluency and visual taste.
- Ability to write in multiple voices and internet-native tones.
π Requirements
- You are genuinely terminally online. This is not a meme β itβs a job requirement. You understand internet culture at a deep level (memes, brainrot, parasocial dynamics, niche Twitter lore, etc.).
- You enjoy spending hours on X/Twitter, reading threads, and following niche conversations.
- Obsessed with writing and content creation. You write not because you have to, but because you canβt stop.
- 1β3 years of real experience in content, ghostwriting, copywriting, or running socials.
- Elite-level English writing β natural, sharp, funny when needed, and always high-signal.
- Strong understanding of how X and LinkedIn actually work in 2026 (algorithms, hooks, timing, audience psychology).
- Real interest (or strong willingness to dive deep) in venture capital, startups, and technology.
- AI-native β you use frontier models daily and know their strengths/weaknesses.
- Extremely high taste level. You instinctively know when something feels off, cringe, or mid.
- Proactive, fast-moving, and low-ego. Things move quickly here.
- Bonus points if you already have a somewhat known online presence or strong personal brand.
