About the Company
Redesign Health is a global venture and applied technology firm focused on building next-generation healthcare companies. We manage venture capital and venture buyout strategies, each powered by an AI operating system and team of leading technologists, entrepreneurs, and investors.
Our venture capital strategy backs exceptional founders at the earliest stage, often before an idea is fully formed, often providing the first institutional capital and an unmatched degree of strategic healthcare-specific leverage through exit. Our venture buyout strategy partners with proven management teams at existing incumbents via control investments and delivers outsized value by rewiring core products and workflows with AI.
Since inception in 2018, Redesign and our portfolio companies have touched the lives of more than 15 million patients, raised over $1.5 billion from premier institutional, sovereign, and strategic investors, and built distinctive partnerships with marquee healthcare organizations around the world.
Redesign is based in New York and has offices in Bengaluru, Los Angeles, and Riyadh.
About the Role
Redesign Health is hiring an early-stage investor to focus on pre-seed deal sourcing and relationship development, with a particular emphasis on expanding our network in the healthcare AI ecosystem.
This is a sourcing-first role for a self-starter who is energized by networking and excited to build relationships with high-potential founders. This role focuses on the earliest stage of our investment pipeline developing proprietary relationships, generating differentiated deal flow, and creating early access to amazing founders in Redesign Health's strike zone. You will combine strong interpersonal instincts with structured sourcing discipline, and work closely with your partner Redesign Health teams on the path to Investment Committee.
We are looking for someone who is AI-innate and naturally uses AI tools, data signals, and workflow automation to build a differentiated sourcing engine. The best candidates are natural connectors with strong founder instincts who can combine judgment, hustle, ecosystem fluency, and AI tooling to turn fragmented signals into real founder relationships at 10x the scale than anyone could have done previously.
What You'll Do
Founder & Ecosystem Development — Build a dense, trusted network across founders, angels, scouts, venture funds, operators, and entrepreneurial communities. Develop real market presence in the places where exceptional founders actually emerge.
Active Founder Sourcing — Source high-potential pre-seed investment opportunities through relationship-driven founder sourcing. Identify founders who fit Redesign's strike zone, from pre-idea founders just starting to explore their next venture to founders leading pre-seed stage companies.
Maintaining Our Founder Bar — Understand what exceptional founders look like and ensure that founders in our pipeline reflect that expectation.
Team Ecosystem Orchestration — Design and orchestrate Redesign's broader ecosystem presence. Map the universities, accelerators, regional ecosystems, founder communities, and events where Redesign should have sustained relationships.
Partnering with Founders from Sourcing Through Diligence & IC — Build trust quickly with founders and engage credibly from the first conversation. You'll work alongside founders through evaluation, diligence, and the lead-up to their IC pitch.
AI-Native Sourcing Systems — Build and continuously refine an AI-enabled sourcing engine. Use data signals, workflow automation, network mapping, market monitoring, and AI tools to identify founder targets, prioritize outreach, track ecosystem movement, and improve sourcing productivity.
