Built for Experts Who Are Still in the Arena
Long100 Capital is engaging domain experts as part-time Venture Partners — independent contractors who bring deal flow, technical diligence judgment, and operator credibility in hardware and defense-adjacent sectors.
This is not a full-time role. Venture Partners operate on a flexible, deal-driven basis alongside their primary professional commitments. Typically 5–10 hours per week, scaling with active deal flow.
