We manage venture capital and venture buyout strategies, each powered by an AI operating system and team of leading technologists, entrepreneurs, and investors.

Since inception in 2018, Redesign and our portfolio companies have touched the lives of more than 15 million patients, raised over $1.5 billion from premier institutional, sovereign, and strategic investors, and built distinctive partnerships with marquee healthcare organizations and senior leaders around the world. Redesign is based in New York and has offices in Bengaluru, Los Angeles, and Riyadh. As Venture Ecosystem Principal, you will play a pivotal role in building relationships with the early stage venture community to source founders, identify, develop, and structure co-build deals with venture partners, bring market insights to co-ideation processes with founders, and partner with our existing portfolio on strategic finance and capital markets efforts. This is a highly visible and cross-functional role in which you will interact closely with founder sourcing, ventures research and co-ideation, the Investment Committee, the portfolio management team, as well as portfolio company CEOs and existing and prospective investors.
