Analyst Early Stage Team

Analyst Early Stage Investment Team (m/f/d) - Berlin, Munich, London

HV Capital is one of Europe's largest generalist VCs. We invest from pre-seed through growth, across SaaS, fintech, deep tech, and beyond. This is a seat inside the investment team, working directly with partners on sourcing, diligence, and portfolio support.

What you'll actually work on

Finding the next companies before anyone else does. Building market maps in sectors we're excited about, sourcing directly instead of waiting for inbound, running comps, and going deep enough on a space that you know it better than the partner sitting next to you.

Running real diligence. Talking to founders, customers, and competitors. Building the model, not just filling in someone else's template. Stress-testing a business case instead of taking the deck at face value. Writing memos that make a case a partner would actually defend in an investment committee.

Forming your own view, and holding it. We're still making bets on people as much as products, and that means judgment: reading a founder, reading a room, deciding whether you'd trust this person with your own money. That's a muscle, not a checklist.

Sitting in the room, eventually. Partner meetings and deal reviews once you've earned it; not to run them, but to watch how a real investment decision actually gets made, and to have a sharp, well-formed view ready when someone asks for yours.

Portfolio support. The odd KPI request, board-prep question, or research ask from a founder who needs a sharp answer fast, not a polished deck in two weeks.
