VP, Capital Formation

Vice President, Capital Formation
Location: Wayne, New Jersey, New York, NY
Employment: Full-time
Build the capital engine behind differentiated private-market access.
Lumida is an AI-native modern wealth advisor and Wealth Architect for owners and creators.
Our mission is to make money intelligent. We bring investing, trust and estate planning, and tax strategy together in a single wealth architecture—helping clients grow, protect, and transfer wealth with greater intention.
Our investment platform spans public markets and differentiated alternatives, including select pre-IPO opportunities for qualified clients. Our approach is institutional in its breadth, non-consensus in its thinking, and deeply personal in its application.
Our team shares the mindset of our clients: curious, original, and driven to build what does not yet exist. Lumida is venture-backed, with real traction, an ambitious product vision, and a rapidly growing community.
We are hiring a licensed Vice President, Capital Formation to raise capital for Lumida-sponsored investment vehicles. This is a senior, revenue-owning role for someone who can earn the confidence of sophisticated investors, translate investment theses into clear conviction, and turn a strong network into durable capital relationships.
Lumida’s private-investment track record includes CoreWeave, Shield AI, Atoms (founded by Travis Kalanick), Kraken and other deals.
We are building a focused private-investment platform across the themes reshaping the next decade.

Family offices and ultra-high-net-worth investors
Founders, entrepreneurs, and senior operators

Institutional allocators
You will work directly with Lumida's CEO, CIO, and investment team to shape investor materials, position each opportunity, run a disciplined pipeline, and create the repeatable fundraising infrastructure that supports a growing alternatives platform.

Develop trusted senior relationships and convert them into repeat capital commitments.
Partner with the investment team to communicate each vehicle's strategy, portfolio construction, risks, and fit for prospective investors.
Create a rigorous fundraising operating cadence: CRM hygiene, pipeline reviews, conversion reporting, investor follow-up, and forecast accuracy.
Help refine positioning, investor materials, due-diligence responses, and capital-formation processes.
Represent Lumida at investor meetings, industry events, and targeted relationship-building opportunities.
Attend Lumida community events and deepen relationships with investors, founders, and family-office leaders.
Operate with exacting attention to securities-law, firm-policy, and investor-suitability requirements.
