VC Senior Associate

About Us

Inflection Club is a private co-investment community for accredited investors, operators, and family offices who want direct access to pre-IPO deals in the companies shaping the future. Built under Catalyst Capital Holdings, we provide curated access from early to late-stage opportunities that traditionally only flow to endowments, pension funds, and institutional allocators - names like Anthropic, Polymarket, Kraken, and Lovable.

Our thesis is simple: the biggest returns of the next decade will come from companies built on the cost curves of artificial intelligence, robotics, longevity, and next-generation infrastructure. We help our members invest in those companies 12 to 18 months before they go public, deal-by-deal, with full discretion.

We are not a fund. We are a club. No blind pools, no lock-ups, no marketing dressed up as deal flow. Every member chooses what they back, and we handle everything else - sourcing, diligence, SPV formation, legal, reporting, and the live community that makes the whole thing run.

What You Will Do:

The VC Senior Associate sits at the center of the investment engine. You will run deal processes end-to-end - from initial screen through diligence, memo, IC presentation, and SPV close - alongside the Director of Investments. You will start sourcing independently within your first six months and set the bar for the analyst pool that comes in behind you.

This is the role for someone who has done 3 to 5 years inside a fund, an investment bank, or a high-velocity strategic finance team, and is ready to step up. You will own deals. You will own diligence. You will own the relationships that come from running a process well.

You report directly to the Director of Investments at Inflection Club. You will have regular exposure to the Investment Committee.

Responsibilities:

• Deal Screening & Pipeline Management
• Run the top of the funnel: review inbound deals, conduct first-screen calls, and triage opportunities against our thesis in AI, robotics, longevity, infrastructure, and digital assets
• Maintain the deal tracker - stage, status, IC decisions, follow-ups - as the single source of truth for the investment team
• Support the Director of Investments in hitting the pipeline target: minimum 3 qualified deals presented to IC per quarter, scaling to 5 in Q3-Q4
• Build proprietary deal flow over time: VC syndicates, angel networks, founder relationships, family-office co-investors, and direct-to-founder outreach
• Due Diligence & Investment Memos
• Lead diligence on specific deals end-to-end using institutional VC frameworks: TAM/SAM, team quality, traction metrics, tokenomics (where applicable), cap table, round terms, and competitive landscape
• Build the financial models. Pressure-test the founders assumptions. Reference-check operators, investors, and customers
• Produce institutional-quality investment memos for every deal presented to IC -d the kind a top-tier fund would put in front of its partners
• Investment Committee Process
• Co-present deals to the IC alongside the Director of Investments. Defend the thesis. Take the hard questions. Document the decision
• Track post-IC actions: open diligence items, term-sheet redlines, member-facing materials
• Maintain the deal tracker with full stage, status, and IC decision history
• SPV Execution & Legal Coordination
• Coordinate with outside counsel on SPV formation, subscription documents, Reg D 506(c) compliance, and accredited investor verification
• Support the deal product: term sheets, carry waterfalls, distribution mechanics
• Project-manage the close: tracking subscriptions, liaising with members through the Director of Community, and ensuring the deal closes cleanly
• Roundtable & Member-Facing Content
• Support the Director of Investments in Roundtable preparation: discussion materials, deal showcases, and follow-up briefings
• Produce the deal summaries, investment theses, and portfolio updates that members interact with - written with the rigor of an investor and the clarity of an operator
• Sourcing (Ramping Through Year 1)
• Begin sourcing independently within the first six months. Build a personal pipeline of founders, syndicate leads, and co-investors
• Represent Inflection Club selectively at conferences, demo days, and investor events as you grow into the role
• Mentoring (As the Team Grows)
• Mentor and review the work of analyst-level hires once the team scales. Set the bar for memo quality, model rigor, and process discipline
  
  

• Y3 to 5 years of full-time experience in venture capital, growth equity, private equity, investment banking (TMT, healthcare, or fintech), or a strategic-finance role at a high-growth startup
• You have led diligence on at least one deal that closed - not just supported it. You can walk a partner through the model you built
• You write well. Your investment memos are the kind people forward, not skim
• You can build a financial model from a blank tab - cohort analyses, LTV/CAC, scenario builds, cap-table waterfalls, dilution math - without a template
• You read primary sources. You know the difference between a sourced fact and a TechCrunch headline
• You operate in a high-trust, low-bureaucracy environment. You dont need to be told to follow up
• You can hold your own in a room of accredited investors and operators without performing or shrinking
• You are comfortable working at an uncomfortable pace without sacrificing quality
  
  

• Direct experience underwriting AI infrastructure, robotics, longevity/biotech, or digital-asset deals
• Fluency in tokenomics, on-chain metrics, and crypto cap-table structures
• CFA, MBA, or equivalent credential. Not required, but noticed
• Network across Tier-1 VC funds, angel syndicates, or family offices
• Prior exposure to SPV mechanics, Reg D 506(c) compliance, or QSBS / Section 1202
• Operating background - youve built or scaled something yourself before going into investing
  
  

• Build Your Legacy: This is a chance to build a category-defining company from the ground up, with your vision at the center
• Unfair Advantage: You are not starting from zero. You have a built-in distribution channel of thousands of engaged, high-trust members from Day 1
• Significant Upside: You will receive a competitive base salary, a performance bonus tied to growth, and an equity/carry package that gives you a direct stake in the clubs success
