We are offering a unique experience and career path in venture capital. You’ll be based in Vienna – the most livable city in the world – and should expect to travel across Europe and be exposed to a wide range of technology markets and startups. As we live a fully digital process, remote work is in our culture but we enjoy being close to the teams we partner with.
You will become an integral part of our investment team. Your primary role will be to find and evaluate startups for investment by 3VC as well as to structure investment processes and support portfolio companies. We interact with a large number of businesses, and it’s important to quickly and thoroughly prioritize, filter and assess. Outbound lead generation is key, as well thematic research and relationship building with the most ambitious founders across Europe – often and ideally before they start actively looking for funding.
You’ll be joining a distinguished and very entrepreneurial team around four partners with decades of experience as investors and founders in Europe, Israel and the Silicon Valley. We founded 3VC in 2017 to bring a Silicon Valley inspired venture capital approach to Europe and we do partner with some of the world’s best VCs like Sequoia, Draper Associates, Greylock, Index or Lightspeed, which offers founders a unique combination of local investors and world leading networks.
You can expect an open and straightforward culture. Our style is truly socratic, focused and collegiate, where being able to learn, challenge others and defend your opinions is essential. Everyone at 3VC looks out for each other, and we really love what we do.
