d-Matrix is a venture-backed AI inference semiconductor company developing the Corsair inference accelerator and next-generation Raptor platform based on Memory Centric Compute and 3D In-Memory Compute (3DIMC) technology. As the first VP of Investor Relations, you will build the IR function from the ground up and serve as the bridge between the engineering team and the investment community.
You will define and execute a multi-year IR strategy aligned with corporate strategy, financing milestones, and the path to becoming a public company. You will own the d-Matrix equity story, including the shift from training to inference, the memory wall, and how Memory Centric Compute and 3DIMC compare with GPUs, HBM-based systems, and custom ASICs. You will serve as the primary contact for existing shareholders and prospective venture, growth, crossover, strategic, sovereign, and public-market investors, building the investor pipeline and CRM.
You will partner directly with the CEO, CFO, and executive team on capital raises, including investor outreach, data room management, diligence responses, and coordination with banks and placement agents. You will author investor presentations, shareholder updates, executive scripts, and Q&A frameworks that translate technical milestones into clear investor messages, and maintain a single source of truth for key metrics and KPIs.
You will build relationships with sell-side analysts and industry researchers, track public comparables and investor sentiment, and brief leadership and the Board on shareholder composition, market feedback, and peer activity. You will build IR infrastructure for a future IPO, including disclosure policy, Regulation FD protocols, quiet period guidelines, earnings scripts, mock earnings cycles, and the IR website, in partnership with Finance, Legal, and outside counsel.
You will manage disclosure and confidentiality, align investor messaging across Marketing, Communications, Sales, and Legal, prepare executives for investor meetings and conferences, and hire and manage IR team members and external vendors. This is a hybrid role based in San Francisco or New York, with travel to Santa Clara HQ and worldwide for investor and PR events as needed.
