About VCMint

VCMint is a founder-led fund backing venture-scale startups with private capital — fueling bold ideas and resilient founders at the earliest stages. We typically write $100k–$200k cheques at seed / early stages and selectively participate in growth to preIPO opportunities.

We are sectorcurious and founderled : we back teams building durable value and step in with practical help via our functional and domain advisor network .

Rooted in Hyderabad with a national outlook, VCMint moves with speed, empathy, and conviction.

Role Overview

The CIO is VCMint's investing engine—owning the funnel from sourcing evaluation diligence execution portfolio support . You'll craft theses, build a highquality deal pipeline, run rigorous sectoral and companyspecific evaluations, orchestrate LDD / FDD with external partners, and activate our advisor bench to help portfolio founders win. You'll work daytoday with Aditya and Neelima , keeping our cadence fast, founderfriendly, and operationally sharp.

What You'll Do

1) Sourcing & Thesis

  • Build and maintain a quality pipeline across seed / early and laterstage (select growth / preIPO) deals.
  • Develop and refresh thematic theses (fintech, SaaS, consumer internet, logistics, AIenabled ops, etc.).
  • Leverage your network (founders, angels, bankers, accelerators, alumni groups, operators) to find nonobvious opportunities.
  • Represent VCMint at ecosystem events; host smallformat founder circles in Hyderabad and beyond.

2) Evaluation & IC Prep

  • Run fast screens (team / market / traction / unit economics) and deep dives (market sizing, competition, moat, risks).
  • Build and audit financial models; scenario / cap table simulations; exit pathways.
  • Draft crisp Investment Memos with clear theses, risks, mitigants, and decision checkpoints.
  • Prepare materials for an efficient Investment Committee cadence.
  • 3) Diligence Leadership (LDD / FDD / Tech / Commercial)

  • Define diligence scope; select / manage external partners for Legal Due Diligence (LDD) and Financial Due Diligence (FDD) ; commission tech / commercial work as needed.
  • Coordinate dataroom requests, redflag logs, and management Q&A.
  • Synthesize findings into go / nogo recommendations with practical remedies and terms.
  • 4) Transaction Execution

  • Support term sheet design, valuation rationale, rights, and protections aligned to founderfriendly principles.
  • Coordinate with counsel on definitive docs; ensure clean close checklists and postclose obligations.
  • Maintain accurate closing files; hand off smoothly to finance / ops for compliance.
  • 5) Portfolio Support & Followons

  • Onboard each company into VCMint's advisor network ; drive targeted, timeboxed help (hiring, GTM, ops, partnerships, governance).
  • Track portfolio health (cadenced updates, KPI dashboards, cash runway).
  • Prepare followon cases; manage coinvestor communications.
  • Where relevant, take board / observer seats with a coachnotcop ethos.
  • 6) Finance, Reporting & Ops

  • Partner with finance on allocations, wires, compliance, and recordkeeping.
  • Keep pipeline CRM tidy; report on funnel metrics, cadence SLAs, and learning loops.
  • Build internal playbooks and a searchable knowledge base (theses, comps, benchmarks, term templates).
  • FounderFriendly Communication Standard

  • Empathy first : default to curiosity and respect in every founder interaction.
  • Speed with clarity : first response within 48–72 hours; crisp feedback even when passing.
  • No black box : explain how we decide, what we need next, and timelines.
  • Value on every touch : intro, resource, or concrete suggestion—even when it's a 'no.'
  • What Success Looks Like

  • Sourcing : Curate 400–600 quality opportunities / year; maintain a living map of priority themes.
  • Conversion : Advance 15–25% to deep dive; recommend 12-15 investments / year (mix of early and selective growth).
  • Diligence Quality : Every close accompanied by a clear redflag register and mitigants; zero avoidable surprises postclose.
  • Portfolio NPS : Founder NPS 60; measurable advisor engagements per company per quarter.
  • Cadence : IC memos that enable decisions within 2–3 weeks from first call (dealdependent).
  • Ideal Profile

  • Background : Exfounder / operator or investor with meaningful deal evaluation experience; comfort spanning seed to growth.
  • Networked : Credible access across founders, angels, bankers, and operators—especially within India (Hyderabad a plus).
  • Analytical : Strong grasp of unit economics, cohort / retention, marketplaces, SaaS metrics, workingcapital cycles, and path to profitability.
  • Diligenceready : Handson with LDD / FDD scopes; ability to frame key questions and pressuretest assumptions.
  • Execution : Structured writer (memos), fast modeler (Excel / Sheets), and organized operator (pipeline discipline).
  • Style : Hustle, bias to action, lowego; founderfriendly communicator with high empathy.
  • Nicetohave : Board / observer experience; prior termsheet negotiations; sector depth in fintech / SaaS / AI / consumer.
  • Compensation & Setup

  • Competitive base + performance bonus tied to sourcing quality, diligence excellence, and portfolio outcomes.
  • Potential carry % across the portfolio
  • Open to entrepreneurial structures (e.g., transition from an operating role, flexible arrangement while building your next thing).
  • Tools / enablement budget for research, CRM, expert calls, and travel.
  • Key Relationships

  • Internal : Founders (Aditya & Neelima), Finance / Compliance, Portfolio Success / Advisor Ops.
