- Significant hands-on work with startup diligence, investment memo writing, market mapping, financial analysis, cap table review, or portfolio company analysis.
- Deep knowledge of venture capital deal evaluation, private company valuation, startup business models, fundraising dynamics, term sheets, and investor decision-making.
- Strong understanding of SaaS, marketplace, fintech, AI, consumer, healthcare, enterprise software, or other venture-backed business models and their core operating metrics.

Key Responsibilities

- Challenge advanced language models with realistic venture capital scenarios involving diligence, valuation, market sizing, business model analysis, and fund-level decision-making.
- Review and refine AI-generated prompts, responses, explanations, investment memos, diligence questions, and financial reasoning.
- Provide structured feedback that identifies reasoning gaps, unsupported assumptions, calculation errors, terminology misuse, and weak investment judgment.
- Shape AI communication standards for how models should explain venture capital concepts to founders, investors, analysts, and business audiences.
- Support benchmarking efforts by creating or reviewing high-quality evaluation tasks that test model performance on VC-specific analytical workflows.
- Assess whether AI outputs appropriately distinguish between early-stage, growth-stage, and late-stage investment considerations.
