About The Position

We are hiring on behalf of our client who operates as the premier, market-leading startup accelerator platform dedicated exclusively to backing, mentoring, and scaling elite Web3, cryptocurrency, and decentralized infrastructure founders. On behalf of this client, an exceptional, highly entrepreneurial executive is sought to join the leadership team as a General Partner. In this capacity, the successful candidate will assume a pivotal role in mentoring portfolio founders, evaluating and admitting high-potential teams, and strategically guiding early-stage startups through their critical operational, growth, and capitalization journeys from cohort admission through to seed-stage fundraising rounds. The role is based full-time on-site in New York City to ensure direct, high-touch engagement with incoming startup cohorts.

Requirements

• Prior professional experience successfully establishing, scaling, and leading a technology startup as a primary founder or early executive, with a nuanced understanding of the 0-to-1 operational lifecycle.
• Profound structural comprehension and network familiarity within the Web3/Cryptocurrency, Distributed Systems, or Artificial Intelligence sectors.
• Demonstrated analytical capacity to critically assess the capabilities, structural ambition, and strategic vision of technical founders and emerging markets.
• Exceptional interpersonal capabilities, discretion, and standard of trust necessary to handle sensitive, high-stakes organizational and founder matters.

Nice To Haves

• A highly robust, pre-existing network consisting of tier-one crypto, decentralized infrastructure, or artificial intelligence institutional allocators and angel investors.

Responsibilities

• Deliver rigorous, structured feedback and tactical insights to incoming startup teams navigating the accelerator pipeline. Actively guide founders toward establishing product-market fit, structuring growth frameworks, and refining core product strategies.
• Work hands-on with early-stage teams to architecture, refine, and optimize institutional investor pitches ahead of designated Demo Days. Manage investor matching pipelines and provide high-touch support to secure structured seed-stage closures.
• Lead formal interview frameworks and thorough evaluations of early-stage applicants. Develop clear investment and admission conviction based on early operational signals, macroeconomic market trends, and technical founder capabilities.
• Act as a primary trusted advisor and sounding board to portfolio executives during complex inflections, including product pivots, co-founder equity alignment challenges, and high-stakes operational transitions.
• Author insightful publications, ecosystem essays, and highly analytical content for dissemination across broad distribution channels, including podcasts, professional platforms, and social networks such as LinkedIn and X.
