About the job
Let’s Fuel the Next Wave of Game-Changing Startups.
At Kenergy Capital, we’re more than just investors—we’re partners on a mission to help founders turn bold ideas into thriving businesses. Our focus is on early-stage (pre-seed and seed) startups, where innovation is raw, and the potential for disruption is massive. We’re seeking a Fund Manager & Partner who understands the founder journey because they’ve lived it. If you’re ready to lead the management of our fund, identify the next generation of visionary startups, and help them scale to new heights, this is your stage.
This isn’t just about running a fund—it’s about driving change in the startup ecosystem. If you’re a strategic thinker, an experienced founder, and passionate about early-stage investment, we want you to help us shape the future of venture capital.
Who You Are
- Startup Veteran—You’ve been a founder, led a startup, or played a key role in early-stage ventures. You know firsthand the challenges and opportunities that come with scaling a company from the ground up.
- Experienced Investor—You understand the early-stage investment landscape, have experience with pre-seed and seed-stage startups, and know what it takes to identify a high-potential opportunity.
- Strategic Leader—You’re comfortable leading from the front, making bold decisions, and guiding startups through the highs and lows of early growth.
- Network Connector—You have a strong network in the startup and investment community and know how to leverage it to create value for founders and the fund.
- Results-Driven—You’re obsessed with finding high-impact investments and driving returns, but you also value helping startups achieve their long-term vision.
- Track Record of Success—You’ve delivered results, whether that’s through a successful exit, leading a high-growth startup, or managing a portfolio of winning investments.
- Leadership Skills—You’re ready to take ownership of the fund’s strategy, lead the team, and mentor portfolio companies. You know how to inspire confidence and rally people around a vision.
- Network in the Startup Ecosystem—You’re well-connected with founders, investors, accelerators, and other key players in the startup world.
Your Mission
- Lead Kenergy Capital’s Investment Strategy—Own the investment strategy for our fund, focusing on identifying high-potential early-stage startups in diverse sectors.
- Source and Evaluate Deals—Use your expertise and network to find, evaluate, and select high-quality investments. You’ll leverage your founder experience to understand the unique challenges startups face.
- Support Founders Beyond Capital—Provide more than just funding. Guide portfolio companies on product development, go-to-market strategy, and scaling operations. Be a true partner on their growth journey.
- Manage Fund Operations—Oversee fund management, investor relations, and portfolio performance. You’ll ensure Kenergy Capital runs efficiently and effectively while maintaining a founder-first approach.
- Build and Expand the Network—Cultivate relationships with co-investors, mentors, and ecosystem partners to support the growth of Kenergy Capital and its portfolio companies.
- Shape the Future of Kenergy Capital—Work alongside the founding partners to build and grow the fund, setting the direction for future rounds and fund initiatives.
Why Kenergy Capital?
Because this isn’t just about managing a fund—it’s about shaping the future of early-stage investment. At Kenergy Capital, you’ll have the opportunity to partner with founders who are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. You’ll bring your founder mindset to venture capital, helping startups not just with capital, but with guidance, resources, and the support needed to achieve their boldest ambitions.
What We Offer
- Equity Partnership in the Fund—You won’t just manage the fund; you’ll have a stake in its success and growth.
