Altis is a venture intelligence platform that helps investors make faster, better decisions on Series A/B/C companies. We conduct deep primary research (expert interviews with customers, competitors, and industry specialists) to build the analysis that drives investment committee decisions.

We're backed by Primary Venture Partners, co-founded by a Midas-list investor, and building a structured analyst program modeled on the intellectual range and apprenticeship found at top management consulting firms.

The Role

You'll join a research pod and contribute immediately: conducting expert interviews, building company analyses, synthesizing primary research findings, and helping produce the reports that drive investment committee decisions on Series A+ companies.

This is a contract role designed as a pipeline to permanent positions. We're building the team fast, and this structure lets both sides evaluate fit before making long-term commitments. Associates who demonstrate strong judgment and research instincts move into full-time roles with equity.

You'll work alongside Sector Leads and report to our Founding CRO (ex-McKinsey, ex-Growth Investor). The CEO is a former BCG Managing Director & Partner.

You have

  • 1-7 years of professional experience in consulting, banking, expert networks, equity research, or a related analytical field

  • A strong quantitative and analytical foundation. You're the person who digs until the answer makes sense.

  • Genuine curiosity about AI, technology, and what makes companies succeed or fail

  • Experience with primary research — you've talked to customers, competitors, or experts to build a view, not just pulled data from a terminal

  • Clear communication skills. You can synthesize complexity into something a decision-maker can act on.

  • An itch to get into venture and willing to prove it

You want

  • $10,000 - $24,000 monthly compensation (based on experience)

  • New York City, in-office 4-5 days/week (27th and Park Ave)

  • A clear path to a full-time role with pre-Series A equity (vesting begins during contract period)

  • Founding-stage team — your work shapes the product, the methodology, and the company

  • The intellectual challenge of consulting without the travel grind
