About the Role

We are seeking a highly analytical and driven Associate / Senior Associate to join our team. This role is ideal for someone with a strong engineering foundation and hands-on VC experience, who has independently managed the investment lifecycle—from sourcing to evaluation, diligence, IC management, deal closure, and post-investment support.

2. Investment Evaluation & Due Diligence

- Lead first-level technical and commercial diligence using your engineering background.
- Build detailed financial models, market maps, and competitive landscape analyses.
- Coordinate technical experts and external diligence partners where required.
- Prepare deal notes, IC memos, and thesis documents with clarity and rigor.

3. Investment Committee (IC) Ownership

- Prepare, structure, and present IC documents—including teasers, detailed investment memos, risk assessments, and valuation summaries.
- Manage IC logistics, communication, and follow-through on feedback.
- Drive internal alignment with partners to move deals from discussion to approval.

4. Transaction Execution





- Coordinate term sheet negotiations, documentation workflows, and closure processes.
- Work closely with legal counsel to review investment agreements, SHA/SSA, cap tables, ESOP documentation, and compliance requirements.
- Ensure accurate and timely execution of deal paperwork and internal documentation.

5. Portfolio Support & Market Research

- Support portfolio companies on strategic priorities, fundraising, and business insights.
- Conduct thematic research and create investment theses across deeptech domains.
- Represent the fund at events, conferences, and ecosystem forums.
