← Back to Beanstalk: Venture Studio Positions Available (Southeast Asia)

</aside>

Apply for this role.

About the Role

The Venture Lead is the studio's primary operator across its backed venture portfolio. This is not a desk-based diligence role — it is a role for someone who earns a founder's trust by being genuinely useful to them, then does that across four or five ventures at once.

The Ventures Lead owns the venture pipeline and the day-to-day commercialisation work inside each venture. They are the founder's go-to person in the studio: approachable, firmly on the founder's side, and capable of switching context across ventures at different stages and in different sectors. Pipeline administration — memo-writing, deal tracking, IC preparation — sits here too, but it is the smallest part of the job.

This is roughly 70% commercialisation and venture building operator and 30% pipeline and investment work. The right person has built and run companies, understands what it takes to cross the R&D-to-commercial gap, and brings the instinct and range to help technical founders do the same.

The role reports directly to the Head of Studio.

Location: Singapore-based (with existing work authorization)

Start: September 2026

Travel: Frequent travel across Southeast Asia and to key funder markets

Employment type: Fixed term till March 2028. Remuneration negotiable based on experience.

Key Responsibilities

Commercialisation Support

• Run active commercialisation support across a portfolio of 4–5 backed ventures simultaneously, each at different stages and requiring a different skill set.
• Coordinate and own the commercialisation work for each venture: business model pressure-testing, value-chain mapping, capital readiness preparation, and investor narrative.
• Map each venture's exit pathway as part of commercialisation work — identifying likely acquirers, distribution partners, and realistic value realisation scenarios within a 3–7 year window.
• Collaborate with the Head of Studio and Partnerships Lead to build relationships between each backed venture and their potential corporate partners, distributors, acquirers and/or investors.
