The posting

ABOUT FOUNDERS FACTORY:

Founders Factory is a venture studio and accelerator. We build technology companies from scratch, working with leading corporate partners to identify opportunities, develop new products and businesses, and build the founding teams that turn them into independent companies.

Unlike a traditional VC, we don't just invest in companies that already exist. We help create them. That means our approach to talent is different too. We believe the right founder can fundamentally change the trajectory of a company.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

As a Talent Investor, you'll sit at the intersection of venture, talent and company building, helping us identify the exceptional people who will build our next generation of companies.

Our ventures often start with a problem or opportunity, rather than a founder. Your job is to find the person who can turn that opportunity into an excellent business.

You'll work closely with our Venture Builders, Studio Leads and founders to:

- Identify exceptional founders across our global network and beyond.

- Build talent maps and develop a point of view on where the best founders and operators sit.

- Assess individuals for founder-market fit, looking beyond CVs and conventional credentials to understand their potential to build a company.

- Build relationships with exceptional people who aren't necessarily looking for their next role.

- Convince them to take the leap into entrepreneurship and build with Founders Factory.

- Help founders identify and recruit their early founding team across product, technology, commercial and growth.

- Develop our approach to founder sourcing, assessment and talent intelligence as we build more ventures.

This isn't traditional recruitment. You won't be given a list of vacancies to fill. You'll be given venture theses and asked to work out who could build them.

You'll have significant autonomy to experiment with how we identify, assess and attract exceptional people, and your work will directly influence the quality and trajectory of the companies we build.

ABOUT YOU

At your core, you're obsessed with exceptional people and curious about how great companies are built.

You might come from VC, executive search, strategy consulting, investment banking, a high-growth startup, venture building or talent. You don't need to have worked in venture before.

What matters is that you can:

- Spot exceptional people and develop a strong point of view on their potential.

- Understand businesses, markets and what makes founders successful.

- Build genuine relationships and influence people to make high-stakes career decisions.

- Source talent creatively, particularly people who aren't actively looking.

- Operate with limited information, ambiguity and a high degree of autonomy.

- Balance instinct with evidence and be willing to change your mind.

- Move quickly without compromising your judgement.

- Communicate clearly and challenge assumptions when needed.

You don't need to be a founder or have a traditional career path. We care more about your judgement, curiosity, ambition and ability to identify exceptional people.

WHAT YOU'LL BE MEASURED ON

- Founder quality: Exceptional founders joining our ventures.

- Founder-market fit: The quality of our decisions around who should build which company.

- Speed: Moving from venture thesis to founder commitment quickly.

- Founding teams: Helping founders build the teams they need to succeed.

- Talent intelligence: Building a proprietary network and understanding of exceptional founders and operators.

- Repeatability: Making our approach to talent investing better and more scalable over time.

A CAREER IN VENTURE

Talent Investing sits at the intersection of people, company building and venture capital.

You'll develop an investor's perspective on founders and companies at the earliest possible stage, often before there is a company to invest in.

Over time, there is scope to develop into broader venture-building and investment responsibilities across Founders Factory, depending on your performance, interests and the needs of the business.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
