The platform supports success stories across both continents, including Veesion, Omi.so, Raidium, Waterdrop, Lydia, Alma, Memo Bank, Taster, and Neat in Europe, as well as Databricks, Pinterest, Perplexity, and Function Health in the United States.

Today, Founders Future’s strategy focuses on AI, Fintech, SAAS and Healthcare, with a strong focus on supporting globally ambitious and transformative entrepreneurs. As part of its international expansion, Founders Future is actively building its US presence in key innovation hubs.

  • Investment Analysis & Execution
  • Conduct in-depth due diligence, financial modeling (P&L, cap table, unit economics), competitive analysis, and full investment memo preparation.
  • Fundraising Support
  • Actively participate in the fundraising process for US and global funds by engaging LPs (family offices, fund of funds, institutional investors) and supporting investor relations activities.
  • Portfolio Support
  • Work closely with portfolio founders on strategic initiatives, fundraising preparation, go-to-market, and talent acquisition.
  • Ecosystem Development
  • Represent Founders Future at industry events, organize founder communities, and establish strategic partnerships with universities, corporates, and ecosystem partners.
  • Thematic Research
  • Conduct ongoing research on AI, Fintech, and Healthcare sectors to identify emerging trends, market shifts, and long-term investment theses.

  • Strong interpersonal skills to build relationships with founders, investors, and ecosystem partners.
  • Entrepreneurial, autonomous, resourceful, and hands-on mindset.
  • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills.
  • Full professional fluency in English; French or Spanish is a plus but not required.
  • Prior exposure or network in San Francisco, New York or Austin strongly preferred.

Compensation
