Founder’s Associate｜Business Development & Investor Relations

About Us

Jade Capitech is an Asia-based quantitative hedge fund company, with Hong Kong as its core operating base and Taiwan as its R&D center. We serve high-net-worth clients, business owners, and corporate capital across Asia.

Our vision extends beyond strong returns – helping investors build long-term wealth and reach their financial goals through smart innovation.

The Role

As Founder’s Associate, you will help build Jade Capitech’s early BD, relationship management, and project execution system.

Our key mission is to build a high-trust, high-quality, and trackable Pre-Launch AUM Commitment Engine. Through shareholders, referrers, business owners, investment circles, and HNW networks, we will create high-quality meetings, deepen relationships, validate client needs, and prepare for AUM conversion after fund launch.

You will work directly with the founders across early fundraising, GTM validation, client relationship management, investor communication, event design, and internal project execution. You will help turn high-trust relationships, shareholder networks, potential clients, and external partners into a sustainable BD pipeline.

This is a high-intensity, high-learning role. You will gain hands-on exposure to financial markets, corporate structures, Hong Kong asset management, business owners, and HNW client communication. You will also help us build a more efficient, repeatable operating model for a financial startup.

We expect you to demonstrate mature interpersonal judgment, meticulous execution, strong ownership in independently driving tasks forward, and the ambition to grow rapidly in a high-intensity environment.
