Venture Capital Recruiter

Hong Kong’s VC market moves fast, but talent availability hasn’t kept pace. Firms compete for people who understand cross border investment, regional regulation and sector specialisms like fintech, digital assets and deep tech. The market is tight, relationship driven and highly confidential, which makes hiring slow and difficult without the right networks.

What makes Hong Kong’s VC market special is the way it connects global capital with mainland innovation. Funds gain access to the Greater Bay Area’s engineering and tech talent while operating inside a financial hub built for international investors. The city’s strength in fintech and regulated financial innovation sets it apart, and its legal framework attracts cross border capital that wants stability and speed. Deal cycles move quickly, so firms need people who can match that pace.

Selby Jennings solves these challenges by connecting funds with candidates who fit Hong Kong’s pace, sector demands and investment style.

Expertise in venture capital

Our team brings more than 20 years of experience across seed, early stage, growth equity and late stage recruiting. We target people who can operate in Hong Kong’s environment where cross border work, regulatory awareness and strong analytical capability matter.

Global network of VC talent

We tap both local and international pools to find candidates who understand Hong Kong’s dealflow and broader Asian markets. This supports firms that need sector depth, commercial judgement and portfolio experience.

Hiring confidentiality

Hong Kong’s VC ecosystem is small, so discretion is essential. We run confidential searches that protect strategic information and maintain trust with both firms and candidates.

Long term partnerships

We work closely with VC firms to understand their thesis and culture. This helps us recommend people who fit the role and the team, supporting stable performance in a competitive market.

Selby Jennings supports a broad range of firms across the venture capital ecosystem, including but not limited to:

• Early-stage venture capital firms (Seed to Series A)
• Growth equity firms (Series B+ and beyond)
• Corporate venture capital arms
• Impact and sustainability-focused VC funds
• Sector-specific firms (e.g. fintech, biotech, deep tech, climate tech)
• Family offices with direct VC investment mandates
• University endowments and innovation fund arms
• Global and regional multi-stage VC platforms

…and many more firms where innovation, scalability, and strategic investment are at the core of long-term success.
