What you will do

This role is centered on researching markets and industries to surface new trends, disruptive ideas, and promising investment themes. You will assess startups by looking at their business models, product-market fit, competitive position, customer traction, and growth outlook.

The position involves working closely with investment professionals, founders, and external contacts to gather information and support ongoing assessments. You will also take part in strategic discussions by sharing data-backed views, market observations, and competitive analysis.
