The Opportunity

We are seeking an Associate to join the firm's early growth stage fund, working closely with senior members of the investment team to source, evaluate and support high potential startups from Series A through Series C, with a primary focus on Series A and B. Based in London and focused on European opportunities, you will be involved across the full investment lifecycle, from sourcing and diligence through to deal execution and post investment portfolio support. This is a hands on role suited to someone who is intellectually curious, commercially sharp and excited to work at the intersection of technology, business and entrepreneurship.

Key Responsibilities

• Source and evaluate high quality investment opportunities globally, with a focus on Europe.
• Analyze markets, industries and technology trends across sectors including AI (infrastructure, vertical and horizontal applications), consumer, fintech, deep tech and healthtech.
• Lead and support investment diligence, both quantitative and qualitative, including market sizing, competitive analysis, business model assessment, financial analysis (unit economics, retention, LTV/CAC, returns) and product and technology assessment (roadmap, scalability, feasibility).
• Prepare and present investment memos and deep dive analyses for internal decision making.
• Support deal execution, coordinating with founders, co investors and internal and external stakeholders.
• Work with portfolio companies post investment on strategic, product and operational initiatives.
• Build and manage relationships with founders, operators and ecosystem partners across the region.
• Help improve and scale internal investment processes and tooling, with particular emphasis on applying AI to sourcing, diligence and knowledge management.
• Independently drive communications and processes on behalf of senior team members, both internally and with founders and other ecosystem stakeholders.

What We're Looking For

• 1 to 4 years of full time experience in a fast paced environment, ideally spanning both business and technical contexts such as venture capital, investing, banking, consulting or software and product.
• A strong, structured analytical thinker, comfortable moving between business and technical topics.
• Able to engage credibly with founders and translate technical concepts into business implications.
• Comfortable with both business analytics (market sizing, retention, LTV/CAC, returns) and technical analysis (system architecture, technical feasibility).
• Familiarity with financial modeling, cohort analysis and product or technical evaluation.
• Curious about technology, startups and how new products create commercial and societal impact.
• Self driven, organised and able to manage multiple workstreams independently, comfortable with ambiguity and a strong work ethic.
• A strong written and verbal communicator who can synthesize complex ideas clearly.
• A relationship builder with existing interest in, or a network within, the European startup and venture ecosystem.
• Background or exposure to computer science, engineering or technical product development is a plus, as is experience evaluating AI, deep tech or developer led companies.

Why Join?

• Clear ownership from day one, across sourcing, diligence and portfolio support.
• Be part of a global team, collaborating across regions to share insights, co evaluate opportunities and support portfolio companies together.
• Work in the heart of the London venture capital scene.
• Build skills across both Series A and growth stage investing.
• Significant growth and networking exposure within the world of venture capital.
• An international environment that treats everyone with respect, promotes diversity and gives genuine room to grow, with regular team events and offsites.
