Ventures Analyst - AI & Deeptech
Delphi Ventures
Company Description
Delphi Ventures is a thesis-driven, high-conviction firm that allocates across core themes that we believe will dramatically shape the world.
Delphi Ventures is a member of the Delphi Digital family, a group of separate companies sharing the same brand and vision.
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. Delphi Intelligence debuted in 2025 as an AI & deep tech focused research platform focused on the fast-evolving worlds of artificial intelligence, robotics, and beyond. By combining the researcher, builder, and investor perspectives, we have built a unique investing foundation that naturally extends beyond crypto.

Your Role
We are seeking a highly-motivated and intellectually curious Analyst to join our investment team. This role is integral to expanding Delphi's venture footprint and will be focused on two key pillars:
- AI & Deeptech: Researching, thesis-building, and investment sourcing in AI and deeptech.
- Fund of Funds (FoF): Developing insights by engaging with our GP network, identifying direct investment opportunities for Delphi Ventures
You will work closely with the entire Ventures team to drive the full lifecycle of investments, from publishing research and sourcing novel opportunities to conducting diligence and supporting our portfolio of direct investments and fund managers. The ideal candidate is deeply technical, analytical, an excellent writer, and passionate about the frontiers of technology.
Your Responsibilities

- 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.
- FoF Portfolio Management & Co-Invest Sourcing: Actively manage relationships with General Partners (GPs) within our existing and growing FoF portfolio. Engage with fund managers to receive regular updates, diligence promising companies within their portfolios, and proactively source high-conviction follow-on and co-investment opportunities for Delphi's direct investment team.
- Direct Sourcing & Diligence (AI/Deeptech): Leverage your research and network to source and evaluate direct investment opportunities in promising early-stage AI and deeptech companies. You will be responsible for the full diligence process, from initial screening and founder calls to building investment memorandums.
