About the job

About Us Mentis AI operates at the dynamic intersection of institutional finance and cutting-edge AI technologies. Our diverse team, with backgrounds from top firms such as Lazard and Partners Group, brings together extensive financial services expertise and advanced machine learning research. We maintain a presence in both London and San Francisco, partnering with leading AI laboratories to enhance the reasoning, generalization, and decision-making capabilities of models in critical financial scenarios.

The Opportunity As AI becomes an integral part of venture capital processes, from deal sourcing to portfolio management, this residency offers a unique opportunity for venture capital professionals to gain hands-on experience in how sophisticated AI systems are developed, assessed, and refined within the context of early and growth-stage funding.

In this role, you will:

  • Construct Expert Benchmarks: Develop and validate investment memos, market analyses, and evaluation frameworks for assessing frontier AI systems.

  • Stress-Test Model Reasoning: Identify and diagnose weaknesses in AI-generated analyses, pinpointing where logic and intuition may falter.

  • Design Frameworks: Translate venture capital evaluation criteria into challenges that test AI reasoning capabilities across various investment stages and sectors.

  • Compare Human vs. Machine Judgment: Systematically assess the differences between professional venture judgment and AI outputs in deal evaluation, term sheet structuring, and portfolio management contexts.

Why This Experience Is Valuable

  • Be among the pioneers in venture capital, directly engaging with how advanced AI models approach early-stage investment and founder assessment.

  • Develop a distinctive profile at the crossroads of venture capital and AI, whether within a fund, an AI-focused company, or as an entrepreneur.

  • Gain hands-on experience in how AI is transforming venture workflows, including sourcing, due diligence, investment memo preparation, board interactions, and portfolio oversight.

Who You Are

  • 4+ years of experience in venture capital investing at a prestigious VC fund (e.g., Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Accel, Index Ventures, etc.).
