Vice President - Family Office Relations - Investment Platform

- We are looking for an enthusiastic leader to drive engagement with Family Offices, and enable their participation in growth stage and late stage startup investments via this new platform.

- This is a rare opportunity to be at the fore-front of creating a new asset class in India. The best of the private market has been unorganized & inaccessible to family offices.

- Our vision is to create a new paradigm to enable family offices to invest reasonable ticket sizes (INR 3-10 Cr) into the hottest unicorns in the country for the first time. Entrepreneurial talent who can recognize the potential and wishes to get in at the beginning of this market creation will thrive in this role.

Roles & Responsibilities : 

1. Connect and onboard Family Offices and UHNIs (with net worth of INR 250+ Cr)

2. Manage LV's relations with Family Offices across India - frequent travel necessary

3. Educate and energize the Family Offices about the Startup asset class, especially growth stage / late stage startups who have established market leadership

4. Organize exclusive dinners and meetups for 15-20 UHNIs in various cities in India and abroad

5. Work closely with the team to take curated deals and research reports to relevant Family Offices

6. Provide intel on the market to team members within the company

Skills Required:

1. Excellent communication and social skills

2. High energy, and ability to travel as necessary

3. Understanding of UHNIs/Family Offices and general awareness of financial markets and products

4. Deep understanding and passion for Startups & Venture Capital landscape

5. Prior experience of 4-5 years in Investment Banking, Wealth Management or fundraising for PE/VC firms would be highly valuable.

Location: Bangalore / Mumbai (An initial period of 3-6 months in Bangalore would be necessary).

Who could be a good fit?

1. Someone who is already entrenched with Family Offices / UHNIs in a high-engagement role.

Examples:

- Mid-Senior person at Kotak / IIFL etc where a large number of FOs value their relationships, networks and savviness in financial / investment matters

- Senior person at an exclusive and reputable network focused on the ultra-rich like YPO (Young Presidents Organization) etc

- Investor Relations person at a VC/PE Fund who have raised from FOs.

This person can leverage the following growth opportunities unique to LV:

- We will provide a much wider exposure across hundreds of FOs - compared to any wealth manager

- For folks genuinely interested in Startup / VC asset class, they get to go deep and develop a unique understanding & network in the space.

- The role can quickly expand into managing direct FO relations, as well as managing relationships with partners like Multi-Family Offices and I-banks across foreign geographies
