About the role

QuantumLight is a technology-driven investment firm rethinking venture and growth equity through AI and data. Built by unicorn founders, quant traders, AI scientists, and engineers, we leverage proprietary machine intelligence trained on 10B+ data points across 700k VC-backed companies to identify and support the next generation of exceptional founders.

We’re hiring an Investment Associate / Principal to help us strengthen our presence in the US startup ecosystem and build meaningful relationships with founders.

This is not a traditional finance-only investing role. We’re looking for someone who is highly connected in the startup world and naturally strong at building founder relationships and generating warm introductions.

You may be:

  • an ex-founder
  • an early-stage VC investor or scout
  • a startup operator
  • an ecosystem/community builder
  • or an ex-MBB consultant who later moved into startups

What You’ll Do

  • Build relationships with startup founders across the US ecosystem
  • Improve founder response and engagement rates
  • Generate warm introductions to high-quality startups
  • Source and evaluate investment opportunities
  • Represent the fund within the startup and venture communities

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong startup/founder network, ideally in SF/Bay Area
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
  • Genuine interest in startups and venture investing
  • High social intelligence and strong founder credibility
  • A STEM background is a plus

By submitting this application, I agree that my personal data will be collected, processed, and retained by the company solely for the purposes of managing and assessing my candidacy.
