Senior Investment Associate

Revent is an early stage venture capital firm backing founders building companies that truly matter. We believe that the best builders of our generation dont just want to build a unicorn they want to create and leave a legacy for humanity. As a firm we work relentlessly hard to earn the right to partner with these outlier individuals - obsessives on a mission as we call them.

Weve invested in companies such as Avelios Medical (Sequoia-led Series A) Tem Energy (Lightspeed just led their Series B) and several yet unannounced rounds with Tier 1 funds and are currently deploying a fresh 112M fund. With this fund we will invest in 40 early stage companies all pushing the boundaries in AI and frontier tech to build a better collective future for us all.

Tasks

Were hiring a Senior Associate to join us full time in London as a core member of the investment team. Were looking to fill this role as soon as possible.

The day to day is incredibly diverse and will call on your analytical abilities ingenuity hustle emotional intelligence creativity energy and ambition on a regular a given week you might:

• Own sourcing end to end: use agents (that youve built yourself) your network and original research to find outlier founders before anyone else then lead these opportunities through diligence to the investment decision.
• Read what a founder actually needs sometimes before they know it themselves and make it happen through your network and resourcefulness.
• Develop conviction in a space others havent mapped yet and turn it into an investment thesis strong enough to drive our next investment.

Many of the team members are based in Berlin or Munich so you will need to be able to run fairly independently within London. That means you likely already bring a strong UK/London-based network from past experience.
