Key Responsibilities:
Deal Sourcing & Ecosystem Scouting
Actively identify high-potential Web3 startups, protocols, and DAOs across DeFi, infrastructure, NFTs, and emerging blockchain verticals.
Due Diligence & Risk Assessment
Lead comprehensive evaluations of projects — analyzing tokenomics, smart contract security, team credibility, product-market fit, and regulatory exposure.
Portfolio Management
Oversee the performance of existing investments, track KPIs and token metrics, and maintain strong relationships with founders and core teams.
Strategic Investment Structuring
Design and negotiate investment terms (equity, tokens, SAFEs, SAFTs), working closely with legal and compliance to ensure risk-mitigated execution.
Thesis-Driven Research
Develop and refine investment theses based on macro trends, sector movements, and emerging use cases within the crypto ecosystem.
Network Activation
Leverage a robust Web3 network to bring strategic value to portfolio companies — including co-investors, advisors, and partnerships.
Governance Participation
Engage in DAO governance processes on behalf of the fund, including proposal review, voting, and ecosystem alignment.
Cross-Team Collaboration
Work with legal, research, and technical teams to ensure investments align with internal risk frameworks and long-term objectives.
Reporting & Insights
Deliver regular internal reports and market insights to stakeholders, covering portfolio performance, new opportunities, and sector trends.
Market Monitoring
Stay ahead of developments in token markets, regulatory shifts, and cross-chain innovations to inform future allocations.
Key Requirements:
Deep Crypto Market Understanding
Strong knowledge of the Web3 landscape — including DeFi, NFTs, Layer 1/2 networks, DAOs, tokenomics, and blockchain infrastructure.
Proven Investment Experience
3–5+ years in venture capital, private equity, asset management, or crypto-native investing, with a strong track record of sourcing and evaluating early-stage deals.
Analytical & Financial Acumen
Ability to assess both token and equity-based opportunities through modeling, valuation, and risk analysis — with fluency in SAFEs, SAFTs, and token vesting structures.
Due Diligence Expertise
Skilled in conducting deep due diligence on founders, technology, market fit, community traction, legal structure, and smart contract audits.
Web3 Native Mindset
Familiarity with on-chain data tools (e.g., Dune, DeBank, Nansen), DAO governance processes, and community dynamics is a must.
Strong Network in Crypto Ecosystem
Established relationships with founders, other VCs, advisors, developers, and ecosystem partners across the global Web3 space.
Excellent Communication Skills
Clear and concise communicator, capable of producing high-quality investment memos, presenting to ICs, and engaging with both internal teams and external founders.
Strategic Thinking
Ability to develop investment theses, spot early trends, and think long-term about how markets and protocols will evolve.
Independent & Proactive
Self-starter with strong organizational skills who can independently manage a pipeline, close deals, and support portfolio companies post-investment.
