• Long-Term Commitment: Intent to build a multi-year career path with the firm.
• Background at a smaller early-stage fund/micro-VC ($30M–$40M AUM range) or a lean family office with end-to-end exposure.
• Cross-border exposure or familiarity with international ecosystems (e.g., India, Southeast Asia, or broader Asia).
• Sector familiarity in emerging domain areas like energy, defense tech, or frontier technology.
• Base Salary Range: $150,000 – $200,000 USD (commensurate with experience and level)
