VC Partner @ in Remote

We’re hiring a former founder to join the investing team at Outlander VC.

We’re looking for an experienced founder who’s interested in making the jump to venture. The main requirement is that you’ve built or led a startup that successfully raised at least a Series A. If you’ve also sourced or made early‑stage investments (even as an angel), that’s a big plus. What matters most is that you’ve been in the trenches, know what it takes to scale a company, and are now ready to help others do the same.

You’ll be responsible for sourcing, evaluating, and executing Pre‑Seed and Seed investments, and supporting founders as a trusted strategic partner.

We invest across sectors, but we’re especially excited by candidates with expertise in Deep Tech, AI, Infrastructure, Hardware, Energy, Aerospace, or Defense. If you have the rigor of an investor, the grit of a founder, and the drive to help identify and back world‑changing companies, we’d love to meet you.
