Investment Associate - AI and Compute (gn) @ Atlantic Investment Team, Berlin

Atlantic leads pre-seed rounds across Europe. We back founders at the earliest stage across four areas: AI and Compute, Energy and Climate, Industrial and Robotics, and Space and Security. Since 2016 we have partnered with over 150 founders, including those behind Choco, GetYourGuide, Wandelbots, Synthflow and Mirelo. We are one of the most active pre-seed funds in Europe, and we are growing the investment team.

We are looking for someone who lives and breathes AI. Not someone who follows the space from a distance, but someone who is embedded in it: you sit in AI networks, you build with AI tools daily, you understand how models, infrastructure and applications actually work, and you have strong views on where this is all going.

You have at least one of the following. 

• →

  Source AI and infrastructure founders across Europe. You find them through networks, communities, and technical ecosystems, not inbound deal flow.

• →

  Travel regularly to meet founders on-site and build presence in target geographies, particularly the UK, Eastern Europe, and Southern Europe.

• →

  Evaluate opportunities end-to-end: first meeting through to due diligence, investment decision and closing. Bring genuine technical depth to every assessment.

• →

  Develop and maintain a sharp, independent point of view on where AI and infrastructure markets are heading. Look beyond the current hype cycle.

• →

  Support portfolio founders hands-on: board meetings, fundraising, hiring, go-to-market, commercial and technical strategy.

• →

  Represent Atlantic with credibility. You are often the first person a founder meets from us. Earn their trust through technical depth and conviction.

• A strong sourcing instinct. You find founders before they are obvious, and you are already embedded in AI networks and communities that matter.

• AI-first working habits. You use AI tools as a natural, daily part of how you research, write, analyse and operate.

• Willingness to travel extensively across Europe.

• Based in Berlin or willing to relocate.

• Fluent English. Additional European languages  Polish, Italian) are an advantage.

The team is 20 people. The fund is well-established. We are not hierarchical about deals: if you have conviction, you can push an investment through regardless of seniority. You will have real autonomy to source, genuine expectation that you build lasting relationships with founders, and the support of a team that has been doing this for nearly a decade. If you want to find the best AI and infrastructure founders in Europe at the very beginning, this is a good place to do it.
