- Strategic Partnerships & Pilot Execution especially our high-potential collaboration with global partners and other VCs/CVCs in Vietnam, Singapore, and the across APAC.
You'll be in the room where decisions are made: investor research, investment memos, monthly investor updates, data room, and pilot tracking. Expect a steep learning curve, lots of context, and real responsibility.
