Investor Relations Regional Director

Winner Capital, New York, NY, United States


THE OPPORTUNITY (READ THIS TWICE)

You have spent years quietly building one of the most valuable things in finance — a network of people who actually move capital. Angels who write cheques. Single-family offices who back conviction. Multi-family offices who are always looking for the next manager. Institutional allocators who know a good vintage when they see one. And you are still sitting on the sideline of venture. This is your door in. Winner Capital is an early-stage VC backing "AI-native consumer companies" — the category eating every other category. We are not looking for someone to cold-call investors from a spreadsheet. We are looking for people who genuinely believe that capital, deployed with purpose, changes the world — and who have already assembled the community to do exactly that. As an Investor Relations Regional Director, you become the face of Winner Capital in your region. Contractual. Autonomous. Incentivised every way that matters — commissions, deals, SPVs, and the ability to invest in the fund itself. No one is asking you to quit your day job. We are asking you to bring your network to a table worth sitting at. THINK OF IT AS THE MBA YOU ACTUALLY NEEDED

Most people learn venture capital by reading about it. Our Regional Directors learn it by doing it — from the inside. This role is structured as much as an apprenticeship as it is a commercial engagement. Over the course of your time with Winner Capital, you will develop a working fluency in how a VC fund is built, how LPs evaluate managers, how deals are sourced and structured, and how capital compounds over time. You will sit in on fund strategy conversations, get exposure to portfolio companies, and understand the mechanics of SPVs, carry, and fund economics — not from a textbook, but from the inside of a live, active fund. Many of our Regional Directors will go on to become LPs in the fund. Some will co-invest as active venture investors. A few — the ones who are truly outstanding — will be on a path towards a GP seat as Winner Capital scales. We are deliberately building this as a feeder track for the next generation of allocators and operators in venture. This is not a title. This is a curriculum with a commission attached. WHAT THIS IS (AND IS NOT)

This is not a 9-to-5. It is not a title you frame on the wall. It is a contractual, independent engagement with full autonomy to operate the way you already do — but now with the credibility, materials, deal access, and GP relationships of a VC firm behind you. What it is, concretely: A contractual role — structured, real, and formally recognised. Commission on capital raised through your introductions, at rates that make this worth your time. Access to deals — the ability to bring co-investment opportunities to your network. SPV participation — curated single-asset vehicles for your allocators who want deal-by-deal exposure. Right to invest in the fund — because we want our Directors to be LPs, not just recruiters of them. Events and community — hosted, co-hosted, and supported access to LP and founder gatherings. Full autonomy — no reporting lines, no micromanagement, no nonsense. WHO YOU ARE

You are already embedded. Your WhatsApp has more allocators in it than most fund managers will ever meet at a conference. You may be an active angel, a member of an investment club, a former fundraising professional, a placement agent, a wealth manager, a family office advisor — or simply the person in the room who always knows who is deploying capital and into what. Specifically, you likely have: An active network of HNWIs, single-family offices (SFOs), multi-family offices (MFOs), angel syndicates, or institutional allocators in your region. 5 years operating in or adjacent to investment, wealth, or capital markets. A genuine belief that early-stage AI and technology companies represent the most consequential investment category of this decade. Prior experience in a fundraising, IR, placement, or investor-facing role — or a network so strong it speaks for itself. The patience to build something meaningful and the instinct to know when to move fast. THE SELECTION PROCESS — NOT FOR THE IMPATIENT

We will take our time. You should too. This is a 3 to 4 month process with multiple rounds. We are not filling a seat — we are selecting the people who will represent Winner Capital to the highest‑calibre investors in their regions. We will assess your network depth, your regional market understanding, your alignment with our thesis, and frankly, whether we want to be in the room with you for the next decade. If you need an answer by Friday, this is not the role for you. If you are a patient capital builder who plays long games, read on. Round 1 — Application review and initial screening call. Round 2 — Deep‑dive conversation with the Winner Capital GP team. Round 3 — Regional fit, network assessment, and thesis alignment session. Final — Offer, onboarding, and formal contractual engagement. WHERE WE ARE HIRING — 18 MARKETS, ZERO COMPROMISE

We are not boiling the ocean. We are going deep in the markets that matter most right now — the cities with the densest concentrations of allocatable capital, active angel communities, and family office activity. One Director per city. No overlap, no competition within the network. United States — 12 Cities

New York City — The capital of capital. If you don’t already know three family offices here, move on. San Francisco / Bay Area — Ground zero for AI. We want the person who is already in every room that matters. Los Angeles — Where consumer meets culture meets capital. Entertainment money is waking up to venture. Chicago — Deep institutional LP base, underserved by early‑stage VC. First mover advantage is real here. Boston — Academic capital, biotech wealth, and a quietly formidable angel community. Miami — The fastest‑growing HNW market in the US. The money moved here. We need someone who moved with it. Austin — Tech money, new‑economy wealth, and a founder‑investor culture that punches above its weight. Seattle — Tech executive wealth at scale. Amazon, Microsoft, and a generation of liquidity events looking for a home. Dallas / Fort Worth — Old money meeting new ambition. One of the most underrated LP cities in the country. Washington DC — Policy‑adjacent capital, institutional depth, and a network that operates on relationships first. Atlanta — The emerging LP hub of the South. Growing fast and largely un‑mapped by most VC firms. Denver / Boulder — Outdoor‑tech wealth, a maturing startup scene, and investors who are tired of coastal gatekeepers.
