Company Description
One of Asia's most established early- to mid-stage venture firms — $2B in assets under management, 300+ investments, and a track record of unicorns, IPOs, and exits across the region. An early backer of category-defining consumer apps used by hundreds of millions of people across Asia, it's now going all-in on frontier AI — including new labs founded by some of the field's most respected researchers, alongside standout US startups. ~44% of new capital goes into AI, plus robotics and deep tech, backing exceptional founders from day one.

What You'll Do

• Source and evaluate early-to-mid-stage investments across AI, robotics, and deep tech.
• Lead due diligence end to end — market, product, team, and financials.
• Build the investment thesis, write the memo, and make the case to the investment committee.
• Work closely with founders after the check — strategy, hiring, fundraising, and growth.
• Build a network of founders, operators, and co-investors across Asia and globally.

Who You Are

• 3–7 years of experience, with sharp analytical skills and strong judgment.
• Fluent in English and Korean — you operate comfortably across Asia and globally.
• We care how you think, not where you came from — but backgrounds where craft and rigor are the standard (investment banking, consulting) or a fast-scaling startup translate especially well.
• Genuinely curious about technology, AI, and what makes founders win.
• Self-directed and high-ownership, comfortable making calls under ambiguity.
• Bonus: prior VC or investing experience, or you've built and operated inside a startup yourself.

Why Join

• Invest at one of Asia's most established early- to mid-stage firms — $2B AUM, with a track record of unicorns and IPOs.
• Work alongside a portfolio spanning Asia's biggest consumer breakouts and today's most talked-about AI labs.
• Real ownership: source your own deals, own the diligence, and sit close to the decisions.
• A front-row seat to the AI and robotics wave across Asia.
• Learn alongside a team with a legendary track record.
• Competitive base + carry.
