Board Member - Strategic Capital & Corporate Partnerships : Advisory Board

About the role

We are seeking experienced private-capital, corporate-development and partnership leaders who can help Graphora build institutional relationships and support company growth. This specialty welcomes fund General Partners, CEOs, experienced Limited Partners, family-office principals, corporate venture leaders and other senior professionals with relevant decision-maker relationships. The focus is on professional expertise, strategic distribution, fund and corporate partnerships, and thoughtfully scoped introductions—not a requirement to commit personal capital. We value the relevance and quality of a relationship, not simply the size of a contact list. A sector-specific fund partnership, a corporate distribution relationship or access to experienced operating leaders can each create value. Any subsequent engagement will define responsibilities and compensation separately.

Responsibilities

• Provide strategic guidance on Graphora’s growth, market development and the opportunities within your specialty.
• Share industry insight and help evaluate companies, markets, emerging technologies and commercial opportunities.
• Support founders and company leaders with practical advice on market entry, product positioning, customer needs and execution.
• Identify and introduce relevant customer decision-makers, commercial partners, industry experts and sector-aligned capital relationships through Graphora’s agreed process.
• Participate in selected advisory discussions, founder conversations, events and regional initiatives appropriate to your expertise and agreed commitment.

Your specialty

• Advise on Graphora’s institutional relationships, market development, strategic distribution and partnership opportunities.

• Help evaluate company and fund opportunities using relevant sector, operating and private-market experience.
• Connect founders and Graphora with appropriate executive, corporate-development and innovation decision-makers.
• Support relationships that combine capital expertise with customer access, commercial distribution or operating capabilities.
• Help founders prepare for informed partner conversations and communicate their business needs clearly.
