Job description

The Mission

We aren’t looking for a traditional venture capital analyst who sits passively behind a desk waiting for pitch decks to land in an inbox. We need an “Ecosystem Scout” to join our core team. Your job is to hunt down early-stage opportunities, execute rigorous technical and financial analysis, and run deep due diligence on high-velocity ventures with surgical precision. This is a remote, high-availability role for an emerging investment professional who views digital economies as a 24/7 landscape and wants to master the mechanics of capital deployment at the absolute frontier of the Web3 economy.

We value a killer instinct and extreme attention to detail over corporate pedigrees. Whether you are a rising star with a track record of identifying trends before they break or an analytical powerhouse looking to transition into the fast-paced venture ecosystem, we care about your drive. If you have the persistence to manage massive deal pipelines, the research rigor to deconstruct complex protocols, and the communication skills to conduct high-level founder meetings, we will give you the platform to accelerate your career.

Key Responsibilities

• Seed Deal Sourcing: Proactively scout digital communities, developer ecosystems, and on-chain metrics to discover and engage high-velocity early-stage ventures before they hit the mainstream.

• Due Diligence: Coordinate and execute end-to-end due diligence processes, stress-testing a project’s technology, market fit, tokenomics, and team capabilities.

• Financial Analysis: Run rigorous, cold, and calculated breakdowns of market sizes, revenue models, financial projections, and economic incentive structures using hard logic rather than hype.

• Investment Memos: Author clear, data-backed synthesis documents and investment memos that translate complex technical data into actionable deployment decisions for the executive committee.

• Founder Meetings: Lead initial discovery calls and deep‑dive evaluation meetings with elite operators, assessing their grit, product judgment, and technical execution.

• Portfolio Support: Step into the trenches with active portfolio companies, providing operational support, tracking data dashboards, and connecting them with our internal resources to accelerate growth.

The Requirements

• The “Eye” for Detail: An innate ability to spot structural market shifts and elite execution before they are obvious. You notice the subtle signals and community momentum that point to a winning model.

• Analytical Rigor: You love numbers and raw data. You are entirely comfortable breaking down a complex business model or a protocol’s transaction flows using hard logic.

• Hyper-Availability: This isn’t a 9-to-5. Markets shift fast and founders operate around the clock. You must be available 7 days a week to lock down opportunities, support portfolio needs, and keep deployment timelines moving.

• Web3 Literacy: You possess a solid, native understanding of the Web3 landscape. You are highly familiar with decentralized infrastructure, smart contract risks, and the unique psychology of digital asset communities.

• Remote Excellence: Self‑motivated and highly organized; you can manage a massive matrix of active deal flows, data sheets, and founder threads without a single detail slipping through the cracks.

Operational Details

• Location: Fully Remote.

• Schedule: On-call 7 days a week (Requires high flexibility to handle real-time market shifts and global founder coordination).

• Payment: All compensation is processed in digital assets (USDC/USDT).

Why Join Us?

We offer more than just an entry-level investment role; we offer a masterclass in the future of the digital economy.

• High-Velocity Execution: You won’t just be reviewing pitch decks; you will be helping to deploy capital into cutting‑edge systems, gaining unparalleled insight into what makes a venture succeed.

• Transferable Mastery: The skills you develop here—surgical market analysis, high‑level deal structuring, and data‑driven company building—are the most sought‑after capabilities in the modern economy.

• A Culture of Momentum: We excel at creating an environment where you are never stagnant. You will constantly be learning, tracking fresh investment strategies, and pushing the boundaries of execution.

• High‑Growth Upside: We value “potential over pedigree.” For an associate who consistently sources elite opportunities and hits their marks, there is a clear, fast‑track runway into senior deployment roles.
