Chief of Staff – DeVC

Role : Chief of Staff – DeVC (pre-seed / seed strategy of Z47)

Location : Bangalore (with travel as required)

About DeVC

DeVC is building a new kind of venture platform - one that brings together India’s top angels, operators, and early-stage investors to source, evaluate, and win the most compelling startup opportunities, together. We believe in the power of the collective - that the best investment decisions come from the shared intelligence, experience, and networks of those who’ve built before.

Role Overview

This is a high-leverage role at the intersection of venture capital, community, and execution. As Chief of Staff, you’ll work directly with Z47 and DeVC Partners to help run DeVC’s operations, drive strategic initiatives, and - most importantly - engage and grow our community of angel and co-investors.

Think of it as a front-row seat to the next generation of Indian startups. You’ll help shape how early-stage investing is done in India, partner with remarkable founders, and learn how funds are built and scaled.

This role is ideal for someone who’s entrepreneurial, deeply curious, and energized by people and systems - someone who wants to learn the inner workings of venture capital and eventually chart their own path as an investor, operator, or founder.

Key Responsibilities

1. Build and Nurture the DeVC Community

• Be the bridge between DeVC and its network of angels and co-investors.
• Design and lead initiatives that keep the community informed, engaged, and excited - from curated deal discussions to exclusive investor sessions.
• Create systems for knowledge sharing, relationship mapping, and collaboration across our investor base.
• Amplify DeVC’s presence across the ecosystem through thoughtful communication, partnerships, and events.

2. Support Fund operations

3. Lead Strategic and Special Projects

What This Role Offers

Why This Matters

At DeVC, we’re proving that the future of venture in India won’t be driven by a few institutions - it’ll be driven by the collective wisdom of many sharp, motivated builders and investors.

As Chief of Staff, you’ll be at the heart of that movement.
