Full Job Description
Role Overview
d-Matrix is a fast-growing, venture-backed AI inference semiconductor company. Our Corsair inference accelerator is built on Memory Centric Compute and paired with JetStream networking and Aviator software. Our next-generation Raptor platform uses 3D In-Memory Compute (3DIMC) to stack compute directly on DRAM and break the memory wall in AI inference. As our first VP of Investor Relations, you will build the IR function from the ground up and own how our technology, roadmap, and financial trajectory are explained to existing shareholders, prospective investors, and sell-side analysts as we prepare for the public markets. You will partner directly with the CEO, CFO, and executive team, and serve as the bridge between our engineers and the investment community. This is a hybrid role based in San Francisco or New York, with travel to our Santa Clara HQ and worldwide for investor and PR events as needed.
What You Will Do
Define and execute a multi-year IR strategy aligned with corporate strategy, financing milestones, and the path to becoming a public company.
Own the d-Matrix equity story, including the shift from training to inference, the memory wall, how Memory Centric Compute and 3DIMC compare with GPUs, HBM-based systems, and custom ASICs, and the Corsair-to-Raptor roadmap.
Serve as the primary contact for existing shareholders and for prospective venture, growth, crossover, strategic, sovereign, and public-market investors, and build the investor pipeline and CRM.
Partner with the CEO, CFO, and Corporate Development on capital raises, including investor outreach, data room management, diligence responses, and coordination with banks and placement agents.
Author investor presentations, shareholder updates, executive scripts, and Q&A frameworks that translate technical milestones into clear investor messages, and maintain a single source of truth for key metrics and KPIs.
Build relationships with sell-side analysts and industry researchers, track public comparables and investor sentiment, and brief leadership and the Board on shareholder composition, market feedback, and peer activity.
Build IR infrastructure for a future IPO, including disclosure policy, Regulation FD protocols, quiet period guidelines, earnings scripts, mock earnings cycles, and the IR website, in partnership with Finance, Legal, and outside counsel.
Manage disclosure and confidentiality, align investor messaging with Marketing, Communications, Sales, and Legal, prepare executives for investor meetings and conferences, and hire and manage IR team members and external vendors.
