As we prepare for Cathay's next set of funds, we're growing the San Francisco investment team at @Cathayinnov and are looking to add an investor, anywhere from Associate to experienced VP.

We're looking for someone who's relentlessly in the market, spending more time with founders, engineers, researchers, and investors than behind a desk. Someone who consistently gets into highly competitive opportunities, has strong judgment from seed through Series B, and spots important technical and market shifts before they become consensus.

The ideal candidate is a technical generalist with a strong understanding of the AI stack, from infrastructure and compute to models, inference, and tooling. Experience in datacenters, robotics, or autonomy is a plus. Technical depth is a meaningful advantage, but exceptional sourcing, founder access, and market judgment can be equally compelling.

We aim to make 5+ new investments a year out of the SF office. That gives us the time to develop deep market theses, build conviction over months, and compete for the handful of companies that can define a fund. If your favorite part of venture is developing a point of view before the market catches up, and spending your time with founders, researchers, and engineers, you'll probably enjoy how we work.

The SF office is a small team of ~10, backed by a global VC platform of 40 people managing nearly $3B. You'll have meaningful ownership from day one, the opportunity to help build our Bay Area franchise, and a clear path to increasing responsibility as the team and platform continue to grow.

If this sounds like you, or if someone comes to mind, I'd love to connect. Feel free to DM or email me.

@amyecheetham 💯 + exposure to working with so many people from different backgrounds / areas of expertise. Loved the transition to having to learn to communicate with cross functional stakeholders vs. just speaking finance lingo
