Founding Product Designer

About Odin

Private markets are overdue a design transformation and there is still no design-led company setting the standard for the category. Most products in the space look and feel like a bank statement from 2009. Were looking for someone to help us change that.

Odin is building infrastructure for the future of private markets. We believe capital is one of the most powerful tools for shaping the world - and more people should be putting it to work. Our mission is to make it radically easier to raise and deploy capital so that anyone anywhere can back the companies and ideas they believe in.

Our first product is a full-stack platform for launching and running private investment firms - think Shopify for VC and PE. We handle all the infrastructure: from legals and investor onboarding to KYC/AML payments tax reporting and exits.

Were already trusted by over 10000 angels VCs and founders. We administer over $500m in assets covering investments from pre-seed to series E. This includes household names like ElevenLabs OpenAI SpaceX xAI Anduril etc. but also new companies creating everything from synthetic brains to small nuclear reactors.

Youll bring experience and conviction to make strong design decisions quickly while creating the systems practices and feedback loops that allow consistently excellent work to scale.
