Your Role

We are looking for a highly-motivated and driven Ventures Analyst to join our investment team. This role will be integral in identifying, evaluating, and supporting investment opportunities across the blockchain and digital asset ecosystem. You will work closely with the Ventures team to drive the full lifecycle of investments, from deal sourcing to portfolio management.
