About the Role
Artificial intelligence is reshaping industries at an unprecedented pace, creating one of the most significant investment opportunities of our generation. At InvestX, we are committed to identifying and investing in the next generation of category-defining private technology companies before they reach the public markets.
As Partner, AI & Growth Investments, you will play a critical leadership role in building and executing InvestX's AI investment strategy. You will independently source, evaluate, and lead investments across Series B through pre-IPO companies, leveraging deep relationships within the venture capital, growth equity, and private markets ecosystem.
As a full voting member of the Investment Committee, you will bring disciplined investment judgment, challenge assumptions, and help shape portfolio construction and investment decisions across the firm. This role extends beyond transaction execution-you will help strengthen InvestX's investment platform, expand our presence within the AI ecosystem, and contribute to the long-term growth of one of North America's leading private markets firms.
This is a unique opportunity for an accomplished investor who is passionate about artificial intelligence, thrives in an entrepreneurial environment, and is eager to play a meaningful role in building the future of private markets.
