Job description
We are hiring a licensed Vice President, Capital Formation to raise capital for Lumida-sponsored investment vehicles. This is a senior, revenue-owning role for someone who can earn the confidence of sophisticated investors, translate investment theses into clear conviction, and turn a strong network into durable capital relationships.
Lumida’s private-investment track record includes CoreWeave, Shield AI, Atoms (founded by Travis Kalanick), Kraken and other deals.
We are building a focused private-investment platform across the themes reshaping the next decade.
The mandate
Own capital formation for Lumida vehicles and build toward $100 million of capital raised in your first 12 months.
You will source, cultivate, and close allocations from:
Family offices and ultra-high-net-worth investors
Founders, entrepreneurs, and senior operators
RIAs and wealth-management platforms
Institutional allocators
You will work directly with Lumida's CEO, CIO, and investment team to shape investor materials, position each opportunity, run a disciplined pipeline, and create the repeatable fundraising infrastructure that supports a growing alternatives platform.
Investment themes
Lumida invests where structural change creates asymmetric opportunity:
AI infrastructure
Energy Infrastructure
Aging and longevity
Defense technology
Fintech
What you will do
Lead end-to-end fundraising for Lumida-sponsored investment vehicles, from prospecting through subscription and close.
Build and manage a high-quality pipeline of qualified purchasers from your own network and Lumida's community: accredited investors, family offices, RIAs, and institutions.
Develop trusted senior relationships and convert them into repeat capital commitments.
Partner with the investment team to communicate each vehicle's strategy, portfolio construction, risks, and fit for prospective investors.
Create a rigorous fundraising operating cadence: CRM hygiene, pipeline reviews, conversion reporting, investor follow-up, and forecast accuracy.
Help refine positioning, investor materials, due-diligence responses, and capital-formation processes.
Represent Lumida at investor meetings, industry events, and targeted relationship-building opportunities.
Attend Lumida community events and deepen relationships with investors, founders, and family-office leaders.
Operate with exacting attention to securities-law, firm-policy, and investor-suitability requirements.
What you bring
Active U.S. securities licensing appropriate to capital formation, including one or more of Series 7, 63, 65, 66, or 82
Confidence in AI tooling such as Grok Bot, Claude CoWork and Chat GPT to raise productivity, and related tools such as Hubspot.
A demonstrated record of raising capital for private funds, alternative investments, private companies, or institutional strategies.
An established, relevant U.S. network across family offices, UHNW investors, RIAs, founders, and/or institutional allocators.
Strong command of private-market fundraising, investor qualification, diligence processes, and subscription workflows.
Credibility discussing investment strategies with sophisticated investors; intellectual range across technology, alternatives, macroeconomic themes, and portfolio construction.
Excellent judgment, concise communication, and the ability to represent Lumida with discretion.
Entrepreneurial ownership
Nice to have
Experience originating private-market opportunities and developing an informed point of view on prospective investments.
Ability to support investment underwriting, diligence, and the preparation of clear, decision-useful deal memos.
Why Lumida
Work directly with the CEO on company-defining initiatives across AI, growth, capital raising, and company building.
You'll have a front-row seat to a company that is in the leading edge of disrupting a trillion dollar market.
Join a venture-backed company with real traction, an ambitious product vision, and a rapidly growing community.
The Opportunity
This is a rare opportunity to help scale a differentiated private-investments business inside a modern wealth platform. You will work directly with the CEO, CIO, and investment team to bring exceptional opportunities to sophisticated investors.
