Beringea is seeking an investment professional with an insatiable curiosity, a self-starting spirit and a desire to work in a distinctive, collaborative team building its latest generation of entrepreneurial success stories.
Who are we?
Beringea is a transatlantic venture capital investor with over $715m in funds spanning our offices in London and Detroit.
From our offices in the heart of Covent Garden, a team of ten investment professionals manage our UK funds and work alongside a host of exceptional founders to create pioneering technology companies and lasting entrepreneurial successes.
We are constantly expanding our portfolio, which already spans over 60 companies in the UK, the US and Europe. Recent investments have included Aistemos, an artificial intelligence company transforming the legal industry, and MYCS, a German furniture innovator.
Other success stories from the Beringea portfolio in the past five years include:
· Watchfinder: the leading global platform for luxury pre-owned watches that trebled its turnover during our investment before being acquired by Richemont in 2018
· Chargemaster: recently acquired by BP for a reported £130m, the backbone of the UK’s electric vehicle industry as the largest network of charging points
· Monica Vinader: one of the UK’s fastest-growing retail brands — its affordable luxury jewellery is now sold globally and counts Gareth Southgate among its customers
Our investment team brings together a variety of nationalities and expertise spanning software engineering to luxury goods and online retail — this diversity of background coupled with a history spanning nearly three-decades means we have a distinctive approach to investing grounded in a close-knit, collaborative and supportive culture.
