Associate, Network & Client Services

About Altis Altis is a venture intelligence platform that helps investors make faster, better decisions on Series A/B/C companies. We conduct deep primary research — expert interviews with customers, competitors, and industry specialists — to build the analysis that drives investment committee decisions. We’re backed by Primary Venture Partners, co-founded by a Midas-list investor, and scaling quickly. We’re a lean, high-ownership team building from the ground up. If you want to be close to the action in venture and learn how the best investors and operators think, this is the role. About the Role The Network & Client Services team is the engine of the Altis research process.
