The role involves owning the fundraising strategy, managing investor relationships, driving the fundraising narrative, and ensuring successful capital formation for the fund.
About FutureSight
FutureSight is an early-stage venture studio and investment platform focused on building and backing vertical software and AI-enabled businesses. We are raising Fund II with a target of $30-50M through rolling closes over the next ~18 months.
The role
We’re hiring a Partner-level capital formation leader to own fundraising strategy and execution in direct partnership with the founder. You will drive the plan, lead critical investor relationships, shape the fundraising narrative, and institutionalize capital formation as a durable capability. This is a senior seat for someone who can convert a network into real diligence and real commitments.
Who you will raise from
Primary: Family offices (principals / decision-makers)
Secondary: Successful business owners and select corporate capital
Typical commitments: $100k minimum, with emphasis on $500k+.
What you’ll do
- Set and execute the fundraising plan: segmentation, target list, messaging, conversion strategy.
- Co-lead high-stakes investor conversations with the founder and own the process between meetings through close.
- Run diligence, negotiation, side letter dynamics, and close mechanics through docs and wire.
- Build the fundraising machine: CRM discipline, reporting, forecasting, templates, operating cadence.
- Manage or recruit support over time (IR ops, junior BD) as needed.
- Use external partners tactically (for example, placement agents) while retaining accountability.
What success looks like
- Predictable conversion from access to commitments.
- Strong forecast accuracy and tight process control.
- High judgment about what to share publicly vs privately with LPs.
- Fundraising becomes repeatable, not founder-dependent.
Requirements
- Senior track record raising or closing capital in private markets (or adjacent high-trust principal-led closing roles).
- Access to relevant decision-makers and proof you can close.
- Comfort leading negotiations, timeline pressure, and complex stakeholder coordination.
- Discretion, integrity, and execution intensity.
Benefits
Base + performance bonus + carry incentives, structured by seniority, results, and fit.
