Startup Investor (Remote)

About The Opportunity

A fast-scaling venture studio and startup accelerator focused on high-impact tech innovation across the Middle East and South Asia. We identify, fund, and scale early-stage startups in fintech, edtech, healthtech, and AI-driven verticals — partnering with founders to build defensible, scalable businesses with global ambitions. Our investors operate as strategic operators — blending capital with hands-on execution to de-risk and accelerate growth.

Role & Responsibilities

• Identify and evaluate 50+ early-stage tech startups per quarter across MENA and South Asia for investment potential using frameworks for market size, unit economics, and founder grit.
• Lead end-to-end deal flow: from sourcing and pitch screening to due diligence, term sheet negotiation, and board onboarding.
• Co-build GTM, product, and unit-economics models with founders — acting as a fractional growth strategist post-investment.
• Track portfolio performance using KPIs (burn rate, CAC, LTV, churn) and trigger intervention plans when metrics deviate.
• Represent SAGON in startup ecosystems — attend pitch events, demo days, and founder circles to source dealflow and build referral pipelines.
• Collaborate with portfolio companies to refine cap table structures, founder equity splits, and seed/series-A scaling playbooks.
