IT Circle

The IT Circle is a dedicated, cross-functional team established to lead, support, and innovate in all matters related to Information Technology across the organization. It serves as the central nerve of technical operations, connecting expertise in software development, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, automation, and IT support.

This Circle acts as both a strategic enabler and operational backbone, fostering a culture of technical excellence, shared accountability, and continuous improvement. Beyond solving problems, the IT Circle proactively drives digital transformation, optimizes systems, and ensures secure, scalable, and reliable technology for all teams.

Why the Deep Funding Community Needs an IT Circle?

In today’s rapidly evolving technology landscape, organizations require coordinated, agile, and visionary IT leadership to stay competitive, efficient, and secure. The IT Circle was established to directly address these needs, acting as a centralized, cross-functional team that brings structure, consistency, and innovation to every aspect of technical operations.

The IT Circle solves critical organizational challenges through the following strategic roles:

•  Centralizing IT Strategy and Execution

Provides a unified governance framework to manage the organization's technology vision, architecture, infrastructure, and policies. This ensures alignment between digital initiatives and organizational goals.

• Technical Enablement for Other Circles

Offers hands-on support, infrastructure guidance, and plug-and-play tools so that all teams can focus on their core work—without being slowed down by technical hurdles. The IT Circle reduces dependency bottlenecks and boosts self-sufficiency across the organization.

•  Improved Collaboration & Communication

Acts as a technical bridge that connects developers, system admins, automation engineers, and non-technical stakeholders. It creates shared understanding and accelerates the journey from idea to implementation.

• Enabling Cross-Team Efficiency

Builds and shares common solutions, automations, and templates that improve productivity and reduce duplicated work. By integrating platforms and standardizing processes, the Circle removes friction from workflows.

•  Reusable Solutions & Standardization

Ensures that tools, processes, and best practices are documented, maintained, and reused across teams—creating predictable, scalable outcomes and eliminating one-off solutions that drain time and resources.

•  Driving Innovation

Provides a safe, supported space for experimentation, rapid prototyping, and the testing of emerging technologies—while ensuring that innovation is grounded in security, scalability, and maintainability.

• Standardizing Practices & Enhancing Security

Implements organization-wide IT governance, compliance protocols, and documentation standards that make systems more reliable, auditable, and future-proof.

•  Increased Ownership & Visibility

Clarifies roles, responsibilities, and support channels within IT. It empowers other Circles to raise technical needs, provide feedback, and co-create solutions—fostering mutual accountability and greater transparency.

•  Empowering Technologists

Builds a thriving technical culture by offering growth opportunities, recognizing contributions, and giving IT professionals the room to lead, mentor, and make high-impact decisions.
