AMAndre Marks
Cross-border Project coordinator and investment analyst focused on startup partnerships, and investment ops
Los Angeles, California, United States
I coordinate cross-border innovation programs, bridging startups, corporate partners, and local governments while keeping events and stakeholder communication running smoothly. Recently, I supported program marketing and recruitment through outreach and creating program materials, and I helped with investment analysis by meeting startups and supporting due diligence. Before that, I built hands-on experience in growth and content operations through internships across tech and gaming. I supported social media and marketing, managed and created content, and used QA testing feedback to improve a VR game. I also bring strong analytical and team skills from consulting and previous collaborative projects. I researched AI integration strategies for a client with Clarkston Consulting, and created side projects with Claude Code. As I move into my next role, I am looking for junior roles as a VC analyst or ops in VC firms. I am open to small startups teams focused in Deep Tech and managing ops and partnerships.
