Venture Scout

We are hiring a Venture Scout to find companies worth our diligence, and to open relationships with investors who back private companies directly. Pairs is a global network of family offices, institutional investors, VCs and angels. We screen deal flow very tightly, and the opportunities that clear our diligence go out to the network. We invest alongside them too. THE ROLE This role works across both sides of Pairs. It is for people who bring in deals on their own. You bring founders from your own network who are raising, learn what makes their companies worth an investor's time, and bring the strongest to Pairs. Most of the work is first contact done well. You write to founders and investors in a way that earns a reply, turn those replies into calls, and bring the right ones into the network. We are not raising a fund. Our investors invest directly in companies, so the work is about direct investors, not fund LPs. Our platform handles the pipeline, research and follow-up. Your time goes to the conversations, and to learning which companies and investors are ready. You will work directly with the two co-founders and our investor team, on a process that already works. The organisation is flat, so you will see first-hand how we screen opportunities, what we decline and why. This is an early-career role. Drive and judgement matter more to us than years in a seat.
