Investment Associate to shape and build a frontier AI fund, working directly with founders and sourcing deals in cutting-edge technology.
О компании
- Frontier AI requires a completely different kind of support. We know this intimately from our experience building Matilda and operating at the edge of the space. That is why we launched Ventures.
- We are backing the next generation of Australian-made frontier AI startups with much more than just a cheque. We have built the launchpad we wish we had, offering visionary founders:
- Founder salaries from Day 1
- Non-dilutive capital
- Unlimited access to Matilda AI products and tokens
- Comprehensive back-office operations support
- We know what it takes to succeed at the frontier. Now we are looking for a mission-oriented operator to help us find and fund the people who will build the future.
Обязанности
- We are looking for a Founding Investment Associate. If you are currently working at an established venture fund and want a faster track to real impact, this is your next step.
- You already know the mechanics of venture capital. You know how to source, evaluate, and write an investment memo. But you want more autonomy and a faster progression path than a traditional ten-year partner track can offer. Here, you will not just be screening deals for a massive partnership to vote on. You will build the fund alongside us, shape our investment thesis, and work directly with founders at the bleeding edge of AI.
- If you are tired of evaluating incremental B2B SaaS and want to focus purely on frontier technology, this role is for you.
- Lead Sourcing: Actively map the Australian AI ecosystem. You will network with researchers and engineers to identify exceptional future founders before they are on the radar of the broader VC market.
- Drive Diligence: Run deep evaluations on early-stage AI ventures. You will assess the technical viability of their models, the strength of their vision, and their potential to scale.
- Build the Fund: As a founding member of the team, you will design the internal systems of Ventures. You will build our deal flow tracking, shape our DD processes, and help deploy our back-office support for portfolio companies.
- Direct Founder Support: Act as a core operational partner to the startups we back. You will help them manage early growth and remove roadblocks so they can focus entirely on building.
Требования
- Venture Experienced: You have 2 to 3 years of experience in venture capital. You understand how funds operate, but you are looking for a role with higher agency and faster career growth.
- AI Fluent: You deeply understand the current AI landscape. You know the difference between a thin wrapper and true frontier innovation, and the technical mechanics of AI excite you.
- High Agency: You thrive in unstructured environments. You take the initiative to build processes where none exist and you do not wait for a senior partner to tell you what to do next.
- Clear Communicator: You can distil complex technical concepts into sharp investment theses and build rapid rapport with highly technical founders.
Условия
- This is a rare opportunity to step out of a rigid fund hierarchy and get in on the ground floor of a uniquely structured firm. You will be at the absolute forefront of the Australian AI ecosystem, working daily with the smartest minds in the space and accelerating your career by building a fund from day one.
