1). Top tier trading companies have quickly grew as investors of choice in crypto and @wintermute_t is no exception. After 30+ investments we are looking for an owner of Wintermute Ventures jobs.lever.co/wintermute-tra…
2). The rise of trading companies as venture investors is an interesting trend and it answers some of the issues with traditional VCs
3). At Wintermute we are able to offer tangible help, not your typical “how I can be helpful”, “network”, “help with hiring” and “corporate governance”
4). We can provide liquidity crucial to protocol/platform success and adoption, we can become the biggest user, provide no-bs technical and trading/market structure advice, we can collaborate and partner on DeFi projects
5). And we are planning to do more, e.g. industry specific operational advice on GTM models, legal, compliance, recruitment
6). We are looking for a star owner of wintermute ventures; someone who is deep into crypto and genuinely understands and is passionate about the industry, hustles and is more of a degen than an investor by nature
7). We are not looking for traditional investor backgrounds, we can teach you the basics of dd, legals etc; we won’t ask you to do 3-year financial forecasts for early crypto cos or torture companies with tick box dd
8). If you are excited about the investment opportunities in crypto (equity and tokens) and have done the work to learn the industry, please apply
9). We strongly prefer London as the location, will consider Singapore and will help with work permits, relocation and making sure you have fun working at @wintermute_t

2). Unlike trading companies in TradiFi and some in crypto, we are not planning to be a secretive under the radar firm; we plan to redefine what marketing for trading and finance is like
3). We have great proven propositions, lots of happy counterparties and a lot of content full of rich and authentic things say
How we are hiring algorithmic traders at @wintermute_t [Thread]
0) We’ve just completed 8 trader assessment batches, about 200 pre-qualified candidates completed screening tests, 40 people did our assessment center and 2 got hired. I'd like to share our process in hope that it is useful to others recruiting top talent and to future candidates
1) Hiring is mission critical for us and hence it’s done by the management team and the hiring team, not by recruiters or administrators (well, we don’t have these roles at all 🤷🏻♀️)
