The Role

We’re hiring a VP to split time between investing and ecosystem/partnerships. You’ll lead or co-lead parts of the deal process while strengthening relationships with VCs, LPs, and strategic partners that create real leverage for our portfolio and the firm.

What You’ll Do

• Investing: Develop theses in vertical AI and AI infra; source founders; drive diligence (product/market fit signals, customer calls, unit economics, comps, cap table); contribute to IC; support term sheets, closes, and post-investment plans.
• Portfolio value-add: Stand up practical GTM support (customer/partner intros, pricing/packaging feedback, hiring help), track KPIs, and prepare board/operating materials.
• Partnerships & ecosystem: Build and maintain senior relationships with co-investors, LPs, and corporates across the U.S. ↔ Asia; host demos, salons, and small-format roundtables; create repeatable programs that convert to customers, talent, and follow-on support.
• Capital formation: Help orchestrate select portfolio rounds and SAV fundraising activities (materials, data room hygiene, LP communications, events).

What You Bring

• 3–5 years across IB/Consulting, VC/growth, BD/partnerships or enterprise operator.
• Evidence of leading or co-leading end-to-end initiatives (sourcing → diligence → close → post-investment/partnership outcomes).
• Excellent relationship builder and communicator; crisp writing (IC/LP updates).

Why SAV

• True ownership on deals and ecosystem building, with direct partner exposure.
• Concentrated AI/enterprise focus and a platform to publish and host marquee events.
• Competitive compensation including bonus/carry; comprehensive benefits.
