What makes this company unique and exciting?
Our vision is to democratize opportunity and ownership of the Internet by building a community of builders creating transformative web3 experiences. Not only are we forging a new path within crypto, but we're also a team of experienced leaders who work hard, laugh a lot and are constantly learning.

SuperLayer is a crypto venture studio led by Kevin Chou and Mahesh Vellanki, who between them have launched multiple successful gaming and crypto companies including Kabam (free-to-play games, exited for ~$1B), GenG (esports), Forte (blockchain for gaming, >$1B latest valuation) and Rally.io (creator coins, >$5B total market cap).  SuperLayer builds tokenized consumer businesses, supercharging their development with crypto technology and expertise from Rally and Forte that can take a typical 2-3 year build and instead launch new businesses in 4-6 months. We develop concepts internally, recruit world-class founding PMs to lead the product, fund the early development until public launch and then help raise venture capital from leading investors in the space.

SuperLayer is a small but dynamic team seeking an industrious and versatile Chief Financial Officer to bolster both our day-to-day finance and accounting activities, as well as our future fundraising efforts. This is a ground floor opportunity to work closely with the General Partners and build out an entire department as our burgeoning fund grows. The ideal candidate is comfortable in rapidly evolving settings, fully equipped to deploy their "financial playbook" whilst helping to drive operating excellence and support strategic decisions as the company scales.
