    Prepare detailed travel briefs with agendas, meeting materials, and local context.
    Handle last-minute changes with composure and efficiency.
    Serve as the first point of contact for internal and external communications directed to the Founder.
    Draft, review, and manage emails, letters, and other correspondence with professionalism and discretion.
    Screen and prioritize incoming requests, ensuring only the most critical matters require the Founder's direct attention.
    Prepare agendas, briefing materials, and presentation decks for meetings, investor presentations, and board sessions.
    Attend key meetings to capture minutes, track action items, and ensure follow-through.
    Maintain a disciplined system for tracking commitments and deadlines.
    Handle sensitive information related to investments, personnel, and strategy with the highest degree of discretion and integrity.

    Business & Investment Analyst Support
    Support the investment team in researching potential opportunities across Real Assets, Energy, and Technology verticals.
    Assist in gathering and analyzing market data, industry trends, and competitive landscapes.
    Participate in due diligence processes, including document collection, data room management, and initial screening.
    Assist in building and maintaining financial models, investment memos, and presentation materials.
    Support the tracking of portfolio company performance and key metrics.
    Conduct ad-hoc quantitative analysis to support investment decisions and internal reporting.
