About Turbine Finance
Turbine Finance is solving venture capital's biggest problem by building the liquidity layer for private markets.
We are a Series A fintech company transforming how investors access capital in venture capital and private equity. By combining structured credit expertise with proprietary data and technology, Turbine delivers asset backed lending solutions to LPs, GPs, family offices, and institutional investors.
Our platform brings transparency, speed, and precision to a historically opaque market unlocking liquidity against high quality private assets. Backed by leading investors including Alpha Edison, TTV Capital, B Capital, Fin Capital, and Sozo Ventures, and supported by an advisory board with senior leaders from SoFi, DoubleLine, and Spring Labs, we are scaling rapidly.

You will drive execution across strategy, operations, finance, partnerships, and people. You will see how a venture backed credit platform is built from capital formation to underwriting to product expansion and play a central role in shaping it, all while receiving a comprehensive education in venture capital and private equity.
