Job description
Title: Senior Investor Relations / Fundraising Professional

Start Date: Immediate
Our Client: Headquartered in NYC and founded in 2015, our client is ranked in the Top 1% by Cambridge Associates. Through their unique model, they enjoy venture-like returns with less risky investments. The companies they invest in are designed to transform the industries in which they operate. The team currently consists of 25 people and their track record includes public and private investments across industries and geographies, with a particular focus on technology-enabled businesses. Taking a private equity approach to the VC landscape, they conduct 2 yrs. of research for a novel product or service, then build every company de novo and partner with a CEO who has an established track record. Their stringent and sustainable differentiation, and superior economic model, has yielded unparalleled net IRR returns since inception and created new tangential strains of investment opportunities that currently do not exist in the marketplace. They value their very blue chip LP base who are equally as excited about the future trajectory of the firm. It is not hyperbole to categorize this opportunity as, "once-in-a-lifetime"….
