About UEX Capital Holdings Inc

UEX Capital Holdings Inc is a U.S.-based investment firm focused on digital finance, blockchain, cybersecurity, and high-growth fintech innovations. We deploy capital into promising projects and products, often through SEC-compliant structures (e.g., Regulation D), and collaborate with private investors, family offices, and VCs to co-invest in transformative opportunities. Our goal is to identify “real gems” — under-the-radar startups and projects on the pre-seed stage with exceptional potential for high ROI in the evolving digital economy.

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly networked, proactive Investment Associate to focus exclusively on building relationships and uncovering high-potential investment opportunities in startups and projects. This role is all about networking aggressively, spotting hidden gems early, and bringing forward deals with strong asymmetric upside and high ROI potential — especially in blockchain, DeFi, Web3 infrastructure, digital finance, cybersecurity for crypto/assets, and related fintech sectors.

Key Responsibilities

• Proactively hunt for high-ROI opportunities in startups, protocols, and projects across blockchain, crypto, DeFi, Web3, digital assets, and cybersecurity.

• Build and expand proprietary deal flow through constant networking: attend/monitor crypto conferences (e.g., Consensus, Devcon), Discord/Telegram communities, X/Twitter spaces, GitHub repos, indie hacker meetups, accelerators, and private channels.

• Cold outreach, warm intros, and relationship-building with founders, early-stage teams, and ecosystem players to discover projects before mainstream VCs pile in.

• Qualify opportunities quickly: assess founder quality, market fit, traction signals, and upside potential to filter for true “gems” with 10x+ ROI potential.

• Cultivate a broad, high-quality network of founders, angels, other associates, family offices, private investors, and co-investing VCs.

• Position UEX Capital as a go-to partner for early, high-conviction deals.

• Facilitate warm introductions and collaborate on co-investment opportunities with our partners.

• Prepare concise teasers, one-pagers, or quick notes on sourced gems (highlighting why it’s a high-ROI opportunity, key risks/upside, and founder strengths).

• Hand off qualified deals to the investment team for deeper evaluation.

• Track sourced opportunities and provide ongoing ecosystem insights/trend spotting.

Qualifications & Requirements

• 2+ years in sinilar roles

• Proven networking ability: existing relationships with founders, investors, or communities that can generate real deal flow.

• Deep passion for and knowledge of digital finance, blockchain trends, DeFi protocols, cybersecurity, high-growth fintech and AI.

• Strong intuition for spotting “gems”: ability to identify asymmetric opportunities with massive upside and defensible moats early.

• Excellent communication skills — comfortable cold DMing, pitching the firm, and building trust quickly.

• Self-motivated hunter mindset: thrives in ambiguous, fast-moving environments without needing constant direction.

• U.S. work authorization preferred.

Preferred (But Not Required)

• Prior experience as a VC scout, angel investor, or in deal origination/business development in fintech/crypto.

• Attendance at major events or active in niche communities (e.g., strong X presence in crypto).

• Track record of sourcing deals that led to investments (even informally).

Compensation & Incentives

• Base Salary: $80,000 – $130,000 annually (depending on experience, network strength, and location; higher for proven sourcers with crypto track record).

• Deal-specific bonuses or bounties (e.g., cash/percentage of invested amount for successful closings).
• Additional perks: Health benefits, remote flexibility, conference/travel budget, professional development (e.g., event passes), and rapid advancement for top performers.

This role rewards results — the better the gems you bring in and the higher the ROI they deliver, the more you earn. If you’re a relentless networker obsessed with finding the next 100x project in crypto/blockchain, this is your chance to build wealth while shaping the future of finance.

Apply by sending your resume, a short note on your network/deal sourcing experience (e.g., communities you’re active in or past intros), and why high-ROI gem hunting excites you!
