VC Associate @ Kinetic in London, England

Kinetic Investments is a venture capital firm dedicated to early-stage companies that are transforming the digital landscape. Our mission is to drive start-up ambitions to definitive successes through strategic investments and dynamic partnerships.

Since our inception in 2016, we have invested in 12 transformative start-ups and been behind over 100+ digital brands. We are not just investors; we are catalysts for change, committed to shaping the future of digital transformation.

If you’re energised by pitching, networking and closing, and you thrive in high-ownership roles, we’d love to meet you!

Role

You’ll be the chief door-opener for Fund I – owning LP outreach, pipeline velocity, and how Kinetic appears on stage, on Zoom, and in every WhatsApp group that matters.

In practical terms, that means:

• Hunt & close: Build a qualified LP universe, run continuously warm pipelines, and convert interest into signed commitments on a quarterly cadence.
• Own the microphone: Speak at conferences, host invite-only dinners, and turn every room into an LP or dealflow opportunity.
• Curate the story: Craft data-backed, thesis-driven narratives that make founders and investors alike want to partner with us.
• Feed the machine: Channel the relationships you forge into fresh deal flow, strong co-investor ties, and a high-signal market pulse.

You’ll thrive if you’re energized by fast-moving environments, balance strategic thinking with natural relationship instinct, and are excited to help scale a lean, ambitious team.

Key accountabilities

• Own and expand an LP pipeline – map, reach and nurture prospects across HNWIs, family offices & FoFs.
• Convert interest into commitments – drive first meeting → IC → subscription docs, hitting quarterly capital-in targets.
