Hyperbolic is the open-access AI cloud made for AI developers, providing fast, affordable access to compute, inference, and AI services. Backed by Polychain Capital.
About the role
You'll work directly with the Head of Finance and CEO to raise the capital that funds our compute supply, across conventional facilities and structures that don't have a standard playbook yet. Compute is an unusual asset class. It has contracted cash flows, a real residual value, a depreciation curve nobody agrees on, and a lender base that is still forming an opinion about it. You'll build the financing architecture around it, and make the case to a credit committee that our receivables are money good.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years in capital markets, corporate development, or institutional fundraising, 10+ preferred
- You have raised institutional capital before — specifically from institutional LPs for a hedge fund, private equity firm, or venture capital firm — and you can name the relationships you'd bring
- Investment bank capital markets experience, ideally debt: DCM, leveraged finance, structured finance, private capital markets, or a financial sponsors group
- Existing relationships with bank, non-bank, and private credit lenders active in the AI space
- Real fluency in credit documentation and structure — comfortable arguing about first-lien vs. second-lien, intercreditor terms, cash sweeps, and what a lender actually means when they ask for control over an account
- Strong financial modeling skills, you can build the facility model yourself and defend every assumption in it
