Do you often think about what our world might look like in 10-15 years? Ever wanted to understand how to scale a company to solve some of the most pressing problems of our time? Are you looking to learn more about the thriving technology ecosystem in Europe?
About
Concentric is a venture capital fund that invests into early-stage European software businesses. Based in London and Copenhagen, we strive to cover most geographies across the continent. Investing between €0.5 – €5m, we lead rounds and look to add value at the critical moments of a young company’s evolution.
Recent years have been turbulent. Driving that turbulence, both good and bad, is technology; it’s increasing pace of development and the increasing power of it. We would further posit that never before has humanity been on the cusp of so many new technological breakthroughs at the same time. From the commercialisation of machine learning, a new monetary system in bitcoin, the ability to edit genes in vitro or manufacture in space; possible avenues of intellectual but also business exploration are endless.
At Concentric, we are keen observers of these developments at the technological frontier but also as old and more traditional industries automate and adopt technology. We simply look to deploy capital into technology companies that are meaningful and those that will play a significant and positive role in the story of human civilisation.
Role
An opportunity to join a small, hungry team on the journey to building the next established European venture brand. We back over-looked founders and take the same approach when considering who we onboard internally too. Personal development is a priority, and you will grow alongside us.
The working routine is flexible, and an intern can work remotely or at our office in Soho.
Start Date: January 2022
Time commitment: ~20 hours per week, minimum 2 days in the office (under ‘normal’ circumstances)
Length: Flexible (3-6 months)
Salary: £1,500 per month pro-rata
Requirements
- At least 1 year of professional work experience
- Demonstrated passion for technology and start-ups
- A highly motivated, relentless individual
Benefits
The firm is meritocratic, flat in structure and extremely hard-working. Our always-on mentality means output is high, without sacrificing quality. Each member of the team is trusted to work autonomously and independently but we gather as a team, at least once a week, to discuss priorities, challenges and key learnings. As a team we are hungry and motivated to build a renowned brand in the European venture space.
A lack of office politics is refreshing and means that we are all pushing in the same direction, with the same goal in mind. Any new joiners will be selected with this in mind, to ensure the team grows harmoniously. It is crucial that any new hires demonstrate the team’s core values; humility and open-mindedness, a desire to build important businesses and integrity.
