Role& Responsibilities
- Identify and evaluate 50+ early-stage tech startups per quarter across MENA and South Asia for investment potential using frameworks for market size, unit economics, and founder grit.

- Co-build GTM, product, and unit-economics models with founders — acting as a fractional growth strategist post-investment.
- Track portfolio performance using KPIs (burn rate, CAC, LTV, churn) and trigger intervention plans when metrics deviate.
- Represent SAGON in startup ecosystems — attend pitch events, demo days, and founder circles to source dealflow and build referral pipelines.
- Collaborate with portfolio companies to refine cap table structures, founder equity splits, and seed/series-A scaling playbooks.
