Brain Co. builds AI-native operating systems for large, regulated institutions. Each system is built for a specific industry and powered by agents that push real workflows forward. Underneath it all is Atlas, our proprietary platform that keeps customers in control, secure by design, and never locked into one model. We were co-founded by Jared Kushner and Elad Gil and are backed by leading Silicon Valley builders including Patrick Collison and Andrej Karpathy. We have raised a $55M Series A and built a team of 70+ from Palantir, Google DeepMind, Meta, NVIDIA, Tesla, and Databricks.

You will own and run AI due diligences for leading private equity sponsors, from kickoff through investment committee. Think of it as commercial diligence with an AI lens: which of the target's workflows AI can transform, what the solution set looks like, what it is worth, what it depends on, and how AI reshapes the category the company competes in. You are the person the deal team calls when they need a clear, defensible answer on all things AI. What You'll Do Run AI diligences end to end. Scope with the deal team, map the target's workflows and data, identify and size the highest-value AI solutions, assess implementation dependencies and competitive risk, and deliver the readout to the deal team and IC. Own sponsor relationships. Manage day-to-day communication with deal teams and portfolio executives, and become a trusted voice on AI for the funds you serve. Bridge technology and capital. Work with Brain Co. engineers and product leaders to pressure-test feasibility — sometimes by prototyping on the target's own data mid-diligence — and turn the answer into recommendations an IC can underwrite. Carry the thesis past the deal. When sponsors bring us in post-close, convert diligence findings into value creation plans, scope solutions with our product and engineering teams, and stay close as they ship. Build the practice. Codify diligence frameworks, sector playbooks, and solution patterns that make each engagement faster and sharper than the last. What We’re Looking For Experience 3–5+ years of professional experience, with a background in top-tier consulting (McKinsey, Bain, BCG), private equity, and/or AI technology companies. Experience contributing to complex diligence, strategic analysis, or technical evaluation processes. Startup or high-growth operating experience preferred; comfort with ambiguity and moving fast.
