About the role

Primary is seeking an Incubation Associate to explore semiconductor and compute infrastructure opportunities and turn technical breakthroughs into viable startup ideas in San Francisco. You will work directly with the AI Infrastructure Investment team to identify, validate, and shape new company concepts, moving from exploration to conviction. This role is non-traditional, involving exploration of silicon architectures, benchmarking hardware performance, and building partnerships across chip

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
