Company Description

Delphi Ventures is a thesis-driven, high-conviction firm that allocates across core themes that we believe will dramatically shape the world.

The Delphi Digital family has evolved since its inception. Delphi Research was born in 2018 as a firm focusing on producing institutional-grade research. Delphi Ventures launched in 2020 and operates as an independent venture capital firm that invests in world-changing founders. Delphi Labs was established in 2021 as an incubator and launchpad for projects building in the blockchain and digital asset space. You can learn more about Delphi Research and Delphi Labs via delphidigital.io and delphilabs.io.

Delphi Ventures is not open or looking for any outside investors. If you’re a project interested in getting in touch with our team for a potential investment, please reach out via delphiventures.io

Your Role

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about the intersection of crypto and gaming, as well as peripheral implementations across virtual worlds and environments broadly. Your mission, with the support of a veteran crypto research & investment team, will be to uncover unique opportunities within this intersection. Delphi Ventures has a highly flexible mandate, so we encourage the exploration of both liquid and private market opportunities.

The right candidate must be confident working autonomously, have high accountability, strong verbal and written communication skills, and a burning passion for both the gaming and crypto industries. We are looking for someone who lives and breathes virtual worlds, and is ready to shape the next chapter for this exciting sector.

Your Responsibilities

  • Thesis & Research: independently build expertise around emerging trends to uncover proprietary information, differentiated opinions, and inform prospective investment opportunities.
  • Pipeline Management: maintain disciplined oversight into our ventures gaming pipeline, their due diligence status, and provide short updates on a weekly basis to ensure effective tracking. Maintain communications with operations & legal teams to evaluate risks associated with new investments and ongoing portfolio management.
  • Portfolio Support: assist in managing existing portfolio relationships through semi-regular check-ins, reporting, and assessing priorities across the portfolio (e.g. imminent TGE or launch).
  • Deal Flow Sourcing: leverage Delphi’s network in conjunction with your own to ensure we are participating in the best early-stage deals in the market.
  • Process Optimization: proactively work with the ventures & research team to build a workflow that allows you to perform optimally. We prize flexibility, and believe people do their best work when they’re able to do so on their terms by leveraging Delphi in their own unique ways.
  • Network Expansion: continue to build the Delphi hivemind’s network into new territories, in both traditional gaming as well the crypto sector. This may manifest as identifying high-leverage media opportunities, events for us to be involved with, or publishing written content & research.
