Legal Analyst - Venture Capital

About VCMint

VCMint is a venture capital firm and family office (AVNM) that invests its own capital in India, the US, Singapore and other markets. We invest across asset classes, but most of our work is in VC and PE:

Direct investments in early and growth-stage startups, including follow-ons and SPVs

LP commitments to VC/PE funds

Pre-IPO and secondary deals

Companies we own and operate

We have 75+ companies in the portfolio and a small team. You will work directly with the CIO and partners on live deals.
