Ensemble is thrilled to welcome Aidan Gold as an Investment Associate, who is based in Los Angeles, to lead our growing efforts in seed-stage sourcing and execution.
We are extremely deliberate in how we scale our team, letting the new achievements of our proprietary data platform—not headcount goals—dictate where and when we add new talent. As our platform’s reach has extended deeper into the earliest stages of company formation, it became clear that we needed someone who could pair data-driven discovery with sharp investing instincts. Aidan brings exactly that combination, helping Ensemble institutionalize and strengthen our ability to back the best founders earlier than ever.
Prior to joining Ensemble, Aidan was a founding partner at HyperGuap, an investment syndicate and fund with $30M+ AUM that invested in over 35 companies. His portfolio spanned marquee names like SpaceX, Anduril, and Redwood Materials, as well as fast-rising early-stage startups including Lightship, Extropic, Magrathea, and Atomic Semi. Before HyperGuap, Aidan worked in investor relations at biotech startup eGenesis, where he helped raise $225M to tackle the global organ shortage.
Aidan holds a B.S. in Neuroscience from the University of Colorado Boulder. We couldn’t be more excited to have him on board as we continue to refine and scale Ensemble’s edge in the next generation of venture investing.
