Hiring: Investment Analyst
Location: Bangalore | Work mode: In-office, 5 days a week
Experience: 1-2 years | Type: Full-time
About us : AI-Native Early-Stage VC
The role
You will work directly with the founder on deal sourcing and sector research. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to learn investing from the ground up: meeting founders at the earliest stage, forming views on new AI sectors, and helping decide where we invest.
What you'll do
- Source deals: Run extensive outbound sourcing, track emerging AI startups, and build a strong pipeline of founders.
- Meet founders: Take first calls, assess team, product, and market, and flag high-potential opportunities.
- Explore new sectors: Research emerging AI themes, build market maps, and develop investment theses.
- Support the investment team: Prepare screening notes, market analyses, and competitive landscapes.
- Build the network: Stay close to the startup ecosystem through founders, operators, communities, and co-investors.
Who we're looking for
- 1-2 years of experience, ideally in consulting
- IIT or BITS background preferred; strong candidates from other top-tier institutions with a consulting background are also welcome
- Genuine curiosity about AI and eagerness to explore recent sectors
- Extremely high rigour and attention to detail, with comfort in high-volume, research-heavy sourcing work
- Strong communication skills and ease in meeting and engaging founders
- Interest in investing as a long-term career, or in building something of your own one day. Both paths are welcome here.
Why join
- Direct access to the founder and the full investment process from day one
- Early exposure to AI founders and emerging sectors
- Real ownership and a steep learning curve in a lean team
- A team that backs entrepreneurial people, including those who may start companies later
