This full-time investment role is based in Tokyo and focuses on sourcing and evaluating Seed-stage opportunities within the Japanese and broader Asian startup ecosystems for Alumni Ventures. The position involves building relationships with founders and ecosystem partners, conducting initial screening and diligence, and collaborating closely with US-based investment professionals to support final investment decisions. A key differentiator is the expectation to leverage modern AI tools for market research, deal analysis, and memo preparation to enhance efficiency and output quality. The role appeals to candidates seeking a high-growth environment with significant autonomy, offering the chance to shape the firm's regional presence while working in a collaborative, in-office culture. Success requires fluency in both Japanese and English, a strong understanding of local markets, and the ability to travel within the region and occasionally to the US.
