Operating Partner Jobs in California (NOW HIRING)

Inflection Club is the co-investment arm of Decentralized Masters - one of the fastest-growing financial education and investment ecosystems in the world. DM has generated over $100M in revenue in 3.5 years and serves 4,500 high-net-worth members globally.

Inflection Club provides these accredited investors, operators, and family offices with curated access to private market opportunities from seed through growth stage. We are cross-sector, with particular interest in AI, robotics, biotech and longevity, energy, and blockchain infrastructure. We are also open to token allocations alongside equity deals.

We operate deal-by-deal through clean SPVs. No blind pools, no lock-ups. Our founding members have had access to companies including Anthropic, Polymarket, Kraken, Revolut, Lovable, and Armada. 36 founding members and growing fast.

• Stage: Seed through Series C. Selectively later stage where conviction is high.
• Sectors: Cross-sector. Core verticals: AI, robotics, biotech/longevity, energy, blockchain infrastructure. Compelling opportunities in any sector are evaluated.
• Structure: Equity SPVs and token allocations.
• Typical SPV allocation: $250K-$2M per deal, depending on stage and conviction.
• Cadence: 1-2 deals presented to members per month.

We are hiring our first Partner, Origination to build and operate Inflection Club's primary dealflow engine: warm relationships with top-tier VC funds from seed through growth stage who offer co-investment allocations to trusted partners.

This is not a cold sourcing role. You already have the network. We are hiring you for the relationships you can activate in week one.

You will work directly with the founders (Tan Gera and Salim Elhila) and our Director of Investment (Maxwell Nee) on diligence handoff. Origination is yours; you will not be second-guessed on relationship management.

Reporting: Directly to the founders. You have full autonomy on relationship management and deal sourcing. Investment committee approval (founders + Maxwell + you) is required before any deal is presented to members.

Engagement structure: This is a 6-month contractor-toward-full-time role, not an advisor seat. We expect ~30-40 hours per week of focused effort across relationship activation, deal evaluation, and pipeline management. The trial period is designed to prove mutual fit before full Partner conversion - it is not a side engagement, and the comp structure reflects that.

• Activate your existing relationships with partners, principals, and co-invest desks at top-tier VC funds from seed through growth stage (see target fund list below).
• Position Inflection Club as the preferred co-invest partner: sister company of Decentralized Masters ($100M+ revenue, 4,500 HNW members), clean SPV structure, fast close (2-3 weeks), no terms-fighting, accredited LP base with strategic value-add through community adoption.
• Surface 30-50 potential co-investment opportunities per quarter for the investment committee, of which 3-5 are presented to members monthly.
• Negotiate access, allocation size, and information rights on behalf of the club.
• Build supplementary relationships with placement agents, secondary marketplaces, and founder networks.
• Represent Inflection Club at relevant industry events (SuperReturn, IPEM, NEXT, All-In Summit, etc.).

For most GPs, the DM ecosystem ($100M+ revenue, 4,500 HNW members) is a clear strength: distribution, adoption, and a value-add LP base. For a small slice of the most institutional GPs (certain partners at Sequoia, Benchmark, and similar), "community-flavoured capital" can read as retail-adjacent.

In those rooms the framing shifts. Lead with the operator and founder composition of the member base - accredited investors who are themselves founders, operators, and executives at venture-backed companies, capable of being customers, beta testers, and strategic introductions for portfolio companies. The community size is a footnote, not the headline. You will need to read the room and adjust.

Requirements

• 5-10+ years in one or more of: principal or partner at a top-tier seed-to-growth VC fund, co-investment desk at a fund-of-funds, sovereign wealth fund, or family office, placement agent at a tier-1 firm, or active super-angel/syndicate lead with direct GP relationships.
• You can name, today, 20+ partners or principals at seed-to-growth-stage VC funds who would reply to your text within 24 hours.
• You have received unsolicited co-invest opportunities from GPs in the last 90 days - meaning deal flow already comes to you.
• You understand SPV mechanics, co-investment terms, and the economics of over-allocation at early and mid-stage rounds.
• You can articulate why Inflection Club is different from every other syndicate a GP gets pitched by - and you believe it.
• You see DM's member base as a genuine strategic asset, not as retail money beneath you. Cultural alignment with the ecosystem is non-negotiable.
• You move fast and operate without supervision.

• Direct relationships in AI, robotics, biotech/longevity, energy, or blockchain infrastructure specifically.
• Prior experience at a club, syndicate, or family office co-invest vehicle.
• Familiarity with token allocation structures (SAFTs, SAFEs with token warrants, vesting schedules) - we are open to token-based deals alongside equity.
• Existing relationships with secondary platforms (Hiive, Forge, EquityZen, Caplight, Setter).
• Active presence in capital formation communities (ILPA, VC Platform Global, etc.).

Benefits

Inflection Club is the co-investment arm of Decentralized Masters, one of the fastest-growing financial education ecosystems in the world - $100M+ in revenue in 3.5 years, 4,500 high-net-worth members, and a community that founders actively want in their cap table for the capital, the network, and the adoption signal.

When you position Inflection Club to a GP, you are not pitching another syndicate. You are offering access to a distribution channel that most venture funds would pay to reach - 4,500 accredited investors, many of whom are operators, founders, and early adopters who can be customers, beta testers, and evangelists for portfolio companies.

You will be the first origination partner. You will build this function from zero. The carry book you build here is yours. The relationships you bring are respected, not commoditized. And the platform behind you - DM's community, brand, and infrastructure - gives you leverage that no independent syndicate or small family office can offer.

Remote. We strongly prefer candidates based in New York City or San Francisco - that is where the GPs are. London or Dubai considered only with a recent, active US VC network.

Geographic scope of deals: Primary focus on US-based venture deals. Supplementary: European and global opportunities where conviction is high. Our member base is global; our deal sourcing should reflect the best opportunities regardless of geography.

• 15-20 seed-to-growth VC funds with activated warm relationships in first 60 days.
• 30-50 qualified co-investment opportunities surfaced over 6 months.
• $8-15M in total closed SPV allocations sourced via your network.
• At least 3 repeat GPs providing 2+ deals.
• Positive feedback from 80%+ of active Inflection Club members.
