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.
• Advise on Graphora’s institutional relationships, market development, strategic distribution and partnership opportunities.
• Identify relevant venture funds, family offices, corporate venture teams and strategic institutions for substantive partnership discussions.
• 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.
• Work through Graphora’s agreed process for introductions; any fundraising, investment solicitation or other transaction-related work must be separately scoped and authorized.

Requirements

• Institutional relationships: Fund General Partners, experienced Limited Partners, family-office principals and sector-aligned investment organizations.
• Corporate partnerships: CEOs, corporate-development teams, corporate venture leaders, innovation groups and commercial decision-makers.
• Company growth: Strategic customers, distribution partners, operating leaders and other professionals whose expertise can support emerging companies.
• Professional track record in venture capital, private equity, family offices, corporate development, executive leadership or institutional partnerships.
• Experience evaluating businesses, developing partnerships or helping companies access relevant expertise and relationships.
• Substantive relationships with appropriate decision-makers and a record of constructive professional introductions.
• Ability to distinguish a company’s capital needs from its customer, distribution and operating needs.
• Personal wealth, accredited status or an investment commitment is not a requirement for this advisory application.
• This application focuses on the Palm Beach, FL professional ecosystem. Contribute local market knowledge, help identify relevant founders, customers, operating leaders and partners, and support relationships that can benefit companies nationally.
• Meaningful professional experience or relationships in this market are valuable.
• You can indicate openness to other cities without submitting a separate application to every market.
