Description du poste

At Breega, we back world-class founders for the future. We are not simple investors - we’re entrepreneurs who’ve built, scaled, and learned what it really takes to grow.

Our forte is not just writing checks: it’s rolling up our sleeves - with our Scaling Squad, our portfolio companies get hands‑on expertise in hiring, sales, marketing and strategy so they don’t just expand, they dominate.

We partner with outliers rewriting the rules of Digital, Climate, and Deep Tech from pre‑Seed to later stage across Europe and Africa.

Since 2015, we’ve grown to €700M AUM, with main offices in London and Paris and deep roots in the most thriving tech hubs across both continents, as well as a portfolio of 110+ bold startups—Exotec, Alice & Bob, Moneybox, 011H, etc—each pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

• Be caring and constructive: We act with empathy and always provide full and constructive feedback.
• Play for the team: We make decisions as a team and stick to them as a team. We work cross‑squads on a daily basis. We play hard.
• Act like a founder: As founders we work hard and are bold. We understand the highs and lows of the journey. We are by your side at each step.
• Win or Learn: We have a growth & performance mindset. We test, learn, iterate and improve. Always.
• Invest today for impact tomorrow: We invest our time, effort, and focus to make Breega and every business we back impactful.
