LEA Partners
As a venture analyst, you will be the fifth member of our focused and high-performing venture team, which consists of investors (with over 10 years of experience) and founders (with over $10 million in revenue and $20 million in funding). We operate as a small team that works extremely closely together on all issues. Unlike larger funds with more than 10 people, there is no time or space for hierarchies or cumbersome structures.
We expect a high degree of personal responsibility and entrepreneurial spirit – in return, you will be a full team member from day one with responsibilities in every step of the investment process and can play a part in writing the LEA success story.
