About the role

This is a full-time investing role for someone who wants to spend all day, every day developing conviction around AI, building relationships with exceptional founders, and identifying the companies that will define the category. The investment model combines early entry positions with the ability to concentrate capital behind the opportunities where the team has the strongest conviction.

Responsibilities

  • Build and own a distinctive investment perspective across the AI landscape
  • Source and evaluate new opportunities
  • Develop relationships with founders and technical communities
  • Lead investments from initial thesis through diligence and decision-making
  • Assess emerging technologies, markets, competitive dynamics, business models, and valuations
  • Help the wider partnership maintain a current, differentiated view of the ecosystem

Qualifications

  • Already deployed capital as part of an investment team
  • Can demonstrate genuine, independently developed conviction about AI
  • Capable of discussing topics such as foundation-model competition, open-source versus closed-source ecosystems, AI infrastructure, application-layer opportunities, consumer adoption, and changing valuation dynamics
  • Experience around consumer-facing AI companies is particularly of interest
  • Have built their own networks and reputations rather than relying solely on an established firm's brand
  • Strong technical breadth (though this is an investing role rather than an engineering position)
  • Must demonstrate strong investment judgement, access to exceptional founders, and credible experience evaluating or deploying capital

Background

Candidates may come from venture capital or from less traditional investing backgrounds, including angel investing, founding and exiting a technology company, operating within a leading AI business, or relevant academic and technical communities.

Level

The preferred level is Principal, although the fund is open to exceptional candidates from Principal through Partner.

Location

New York or San Francisco is preferred, but location is not an absolute requirement.
