Platform Lead

About G9 Ventures

G9 Ventures is a private fund investing in generational brands that empower consumers to live, look, and feel better. Three themes anchor everything we back: Quality Over Quantity, Community and Connectedness, and the Fundamentals of Health.

We like to invest early (Seed or Series A) and keep backing founders as they grow. We'll also make standalone growth-stage investments.

As a permanent capital vehicle, we think in decades, and our incentives are aligned with the founders we back.

We're a hands-on team that helps the brands we back grow — across marketing and PR, business development, hiring, and fundraising.

G9's portfolio includes Bumble (BMBL), On Running (ONON), AG1, Goop Kitchen, Kitsch, Midi Health, Oura, RŌZ, and Saie — more than 70% have a female founder or CEO.

About The Role

Everything we do is in service of helping our founders build generational brands, and our platform is central to that. We’re looking for a high-energy, proactive builder — strong judgment, sharp attention to detail, exceptional follow-through, and a genuine passion for supporting founders and building relationships — to be a thought partner to the team while owning initiatives across the G9 ecosystem.

This role means wearing many hats. On any given day, you might refine a portfolio company’s product-launch gifting strategy, run multiple executive searches, vet a new agency partner, prep a CEO offsite, and design better ways to connect founders with advisors across our network.

Location: Midtown Manhattan. In-office, five days a week.
