Position Summary & Responsibilities

About the Role

We are seeking an analytically rigorous, commercially sharp Senior Portfolio Analytics & Investment Associate to bridge the gap between structured financial modeling and early-stage startup execution. Positioned within our investment team, this role splits time between delivering strategic insights on portfolio traction, helping with underwriting investments, and serving as a direct fractional financial strategist to our founders.

Unlike traditional back-office data roles, responsibility for institutional fund metrics, DPI/IRR tracking, and Limited Partner (LP) reporting lies entirely with our dedicated Finance team. Instead, you will deliver value by honing internal data infrastructure and advanced analytical modeling to drive proactive investment decision making, assist with pre-investment diligence, and help architect financial strategy alongside our pre-seed and seed-stage portfolio companies from day one.

Key Role Focus:

Evaluating venture capital pattern-matching ability, early-stage thesis conviction, and proactive founder-network building.

2. Superficial understanding of early-stage unit economics and cap table dynamics
3. Arrogance or dismissing founders during pitch evaluation roleplays

✨ Recommended Role Alignment Hook:

I partner with outlier early-stage founders by combining rigorous technical due diligence with aggressive, hands-on GTM acceleration.
