Venture Scout

CVX Venture Scout Programme

Do you have a passion for sourcing investments and making a difference for growth companies? Do you want to assist an extraordinary team of talented, motivated, driven individuals who all share a deep passion for entrepreneurship? If so, you may be our new Venture Scout. Please note, this is not a full time role, but we will provide remuneration based on success criteria.

Introduction

The CVX Venture Scout Programme is building a network of highly talented VC scouts, to assist us in sourcing attractive investment opportunities, in their specialist fields. You will learn and develop some of the most important skills required to be in VC, and meet with some of the most interesting and entrepreneurial founders in your market, and help shape the future.

As part of your role as a CVX Venture Scout, the Investment Team will look to you to identify exciting startups, speak with them and conduct research on them, including their teams, markets, and competition. Based on your findings, you will write a 1-2 page proposal memo summarising your investment thesis, and may be asked to present it in-person or online to the CVX Investment Team.

Expectations

We aim to use our Venture Scout Programme not only to discover exceptional investment opportunities but also to gain a deeper understanding of you and your vision. If you are interested in joining the CVX Investment Team, this is an excellent first step towards not only gaining an introduction to the VC ecosystem and learning essential VC skills, but also demonstrating how you think about investments, analyse them, and present your insights to us. As we grow our Investment Team, the Venture Scout Programme will be the first pool of resource we look to hire from.
