Venture Capital
An early-stage venture capital firm is seeking a highly motivated Analyst to join its investment team. With a strong track record to date and a new fund to be launched in the coming months, this is a rare opportunity to gain hands-on experience in all aspects of early-stage investing - from sourcing and evaluating start-ups to supporting portfolio companies post-investment.
The firm was established by a high profile founder in 2021 and has since built out a presence in New York, and with an increasing amount of investments coming out of Europe, they are eager to expand their presence in London. They target Series A and Series B investments, with capital deployment ranging between $1 – 7m.
Capacity in the team means they have a gap for someone coming from a strong finance background, likely audit & ACA trained with a minimum of 2 years in a transactions role.
As part of a small, high-performing team, you will be immersed in the venture ecosystem, working directly with experienced investors, founders, and ecosystem partners.

-
Assist in preparing investment memos and materials for internal discussions.
-
Work with founders post-investment to add value, track progress, and identify follow-on opportunities.
-
Attend pitch events, demo days, and ecosystem gatherings to stay close to emerging trends and start-ups.
-
Contribute to fund initiatives, portfolio reviews, and operational processes.

- Audit trained ACA, with 2+ years post-qualified experience in a transactions role.
