Role overview
Finance
FundTensor is a technology-enabled coverage service that helps emerging and mid-market fund managers identify, engage, and secure introductory meetings with institutional allocators such as pension funds, family offices, and endowments, without traditional placement agent fees. It provides proprietary intelligence on over 30,000 institutional allocators and 55,000 verified decision-makers, handling research, qualification, personalized outreach, and follow-ups to build LP pipelines.
What you will do
- Act as the senior point of contact for GPs, understanding their investment strategies and positioning their funds to maximize appeal to institutional allocators.
- Manage end-to-end client outcomes by translating GP track records into systematic outreach campaigns that deliver guaranteed, high-quality meetings with the right LPs.
- Collaborate with the technical team to feed market intelligence back into the AI-driven LP identification systems, ensuring the product evolves based on real-world engagement data.
Who this is a fit for
- Has 3+ years of experience in private markets, specifically within investor relations, capital raising, or at a financial data firm like Preqin or PitchBook.
- Possesses a deep understanding of the LP landscape and cross-asset-class knowledge, including Private Equity, Venture Capital, Real Estate, and Private Credit.
- Demonstrates an entrepreneurial edge with the ability to build processes from scratch and a desire to work at the intersection of AI technology and institutional finance.
Why this role is remarkable
- Join as the first full-time hire on the founding team, working directly with a CEO who has a proven track record at Deutsche Bank and venture-backed AI startups.
- Disrupt a legacy industry where traditional placement agents charge 2-5% fees; FundTensor offers a data-driven, scalable alternative that is already serving GPs raising $80M to $1B.
- Receive significant founding-team equity and the opportunity to influence the core product and strategic direction of an AI platform applied to institutional finance.
