Visiting Analyst

👋 About us

We are Seedcamp, Europe’s original early-stage fund. We partner with the brightest minds in tech; people with the grit and vision to forge the future of technology and society, one idea at a time.

We started out in 2007 and now have a portfolio of over 500 companies who contribute to the growth of the Seedcamp Nation. Some of the world’s most successful software businesses started out with us including the likes of: Wise, UiPath, Revolut, Pleo and Synthesia.

We are a diverse team of 18 covering Investment, Legal, Finance and Platform, all driven by the impact our work has on defining the future of the technology ecosystem. In our view, the best work involves coming together, whilst offering flexibility. As a result, we operate out of our Central London offices in the heart of Soho, three days a week.

 

🎯 About the role

We’re looking for a hard-working, intellectually curious and passionate individual to support our Investment team.

You’ll be on first-name terms with our phenomenal network of founders, and be deeply exposed to the way we think, work, and invest. Below are some key activities you can expect to get involved with:

• Supporting our investment process administratively and, where appropriate, with research and analysis on a particular sector, technology or business.
• Review inbound investment opportunities through our platform, presenting relevant companies to the wider investment team.
• Assist with collation, cleaning, and presentation of data related to investments and the portfolio.
• Use your initiative to identify a sector, technology or market of strategic interest for Seedcamp and own a research piece, data project or event related to it.
• Identify individual founder needs and connect them with relevant investors + mentors from our network.
• Research and write up vertical-related deep dives that we can share on our Seedcamp blog and socials.

 

🏆  Your skills

The best talent can come from all walks of life meaning that we’re not looking for any specific background or experience. We believe in the importance of hiring diverse teams and our team have roots from all over the world. Whilst we’re expecting to speak with a wide range of diverse candidates, we’ll ultimately be looking for someone who can demonstrate the following traits:

• Thrives in a fast-paced environment and are happy to get stuck in across the organisation.
• Proactive problem-solver who can think independently and take initiative.
• A natural relationship builder who loves meeting and expanding their network.
• You’re happy scheduling, working in spreadsheets, and have an eye for for the little details that make the difference.
• You are obsessed by startups and have a clear finger on the pulse of the most exciting new technologies being built in Europe.
• You enjoy trying out new apps and software (and maybe want to build your own in the future!)
• A track record of executing and getting stuff done.

 

🔭 What follows the programme?

The Visiting Analyst programme at Seedcamp is a shortcut to supercharging your network and learning. The club is small, but former Seedcamp Analysts have accomplished a whole host of impressive things from starting their own ventures (including Citymapper) through to joining top venture capital firms (including Point9, Episode 1, Headline & Tiny VC).

This role is a six month placement and we don’t expect to hire the Visiting Analyst at the conclusion of that term. Nevertheless, we believe there is no better place to learn and gain exposure to how a Venture Capital fund operates, with real opportunity to contribute and add value to our team.
