We are looking to bring on an investment research partner: a 1st-principle thinker who will be working with the founder closely to help identify, evaluate, and underwrite public and private Web3 investments.

Responsibilities:

• Invest: identify, underwrite, and oversee public and private investment opportunities
• Buidl: explore, advise, and/or directly contribute to Web3 projects
• Evangelize: champion key theses to build our (and your) narrative-defining reputation

Qualifications:

• 1+ years of investment experience and >= 3 months of Web3 exploration experience

What we can offer:

• Mundane, non-research, and non-investment tasks will be kept at a minimum (to the extent we can) – the investment infrastructure is set up where your time will be 100% focused on investing, buidling, and evangelizing.
• Autonomy and responsibility - you will be driving key decisions, help build the firm, and really define who we are.
