The company you’ll join
We exist to make investing in the private markets as easy as Robinhood did for public stocks.
More and more people invest in private equity and venture capital every day. Even though this asset class has been around for decades, it wasn't built to handle this volume of investors. Signing up for Robinhood? It takes 2 minutes. Investing in a VC fund? You've got to fill out a 200-question questionnaire each time that you make an investment. The forms aren't standardized and not every question applies to every investor. Investors miss questions or answer the wrong ones and then have to redo the entire thing.
We built a TurboTax-style workflow for investors to only see the questions that matter to them and see every question that matters to them to make fund closing (i.e. the process of investing into a private fund) easy. Our world record document completion time is 6 minutes.
That may sound boring but we've processed billions of dollars for tens of thousands of investors. And by having an investor run through our workflow, we capture their identity so we can allow them to repurpose it wherever they'd like in the future. We call this an investor profile and it's the whole reason we built this business.
The impact you’ll have
We’ve had a lot of success innovating the onboarding process for investors and now we are looking to do the same thing for AML. You’d be an early hire on the AML team who will focus on providing confidence assurance to our clients they are in compliance with regulatory requirements. We’re looking for people that can grow with us and assist us with expanding our AML business. Our goal is to make our customers love us and their investors recommend us.

Escalate high risk factors to the Head of Financial Crime for further review and Enhanced Due Diligence

What We Do
Passthrough automates the subscription process for private funds. We make it easy to distribute subscription agreements to investors and have them executed electronically. We save everyone time by adding logic to investor questionnaires so investors are only asked the questions that are relevant to them. We require form completion, so investors can only submit completed subscription agreements. Passthrough supports any subscription agreement. The end result is less time spent going back and forth, better compliance, and structured investor data.
