Venture Scout (Remote in Europe)

We're building one of Europe's most distinctive early-stage venture funds. As students, we've deployed two funds (now totaling €35m) into ~50 pre-seed Deep Tech companies across Europe. Our portfolio has raised follow-on funding from top-tier European and US investors.

Today, we're a community of over 100 (mostly technical) scouts, founders, and operators who help us identify the best technical founders before anyone else does. We accept only 1 in 15 applicants; this isn't just another community. We operate under clear rules that ensure everyone is committed, and we kindly offboard those here only for the VC tag.

You're technically fluent, whether as a CS/engineering student, PhD researcher, startup operator, or technical founder. You can have credible conversations with deeply technical people.

You're embedded in a European tech ecosystem, connected to a university, research institution, or startup community. You know who's building what.

You're genuinely curious about Deep Tech or industrial innovation. You follow research, products, and companies in areas such as TechBio, Energy, Manufacturing, and developer tools.

You're entrepreneurial and self-directed. You create opportunities, follow through, and take ownership of your impact.

You want to learn how early-stage investing works, and you're willing to put in the work.

High-performing scouts can grow into Chapter Lead roles at their university or city. Chapter Leads take on additional responsibility:

• Recruit strategically. Build a scout presence across relevant faculties and fill gaps when scouts move on
• Foster community. Organize one meetup per quarter to keep your local scout network engaged
• Support events. Work with the First Momentum team to bring startup events to your ecosystem
