What you will do
Analysts work with us in these major areas:
Sourcing and screening of startups
You will spend the majority of your time out sourcing and meeting startup founders. You must be able to source top early-stage investment prospects and articulate your direction internally. This requires that:

- You diligently build well-presented opinions from your interactions. You’ll be expected to build internal investment memos frequently
- You bias towards learning through primary sources; effectively connecting with other people form the industry to triangulate considerations
- What you lack in experience, you make up for with regimented research, documentation and presentation.
- You’re endlessly curious and your appetite for learning feeds a growing knowledge of emerging business models. You’re adept at how a business’ model works and quick to cite analogues from other businesses.
- You know what metrics to focus on and have a strong grasp of the high-level metrics relevant to each type of business. You’re able to weave these pictures together to have a clear, high-level understanding of the business. You will build on this by consistently modelling financials.
Deal closing & portfolio management
- You will help manage due diligence and the deal closing process, including term sheet generation through to wiring and occasional reporting requirements.
- You own the tactical execution of actionables between us and specified portfolio companies; ensuring that we fulfil our duty in supporting companies.
