Job description

Overview

Colbridge Ventures is a growth advisory firm for climatetech startups. We act as fractional commercial execs within clients' management teams to accelerate the growth and financing of early stage deeptech firms operating in the climate arena. We are all former founders and operators, with decades of commercial expertise, committed to supporting the development of technologies that combat climate change.

Role Description

We are looking for another Partner to take on upcoming roles in Food & Agritech and bring in new projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Work alongside client management teams to refine commercial strategy, develop sales models, fill pipelines, test marketing channels, and structure partnerships.
• Write fundraising materials and support clients in delivering high quality pitches and securing funds.
• Build a deep and extensive network among climatetech VCs and accelerators.
• Reach out to climatetech startups to develop Colbridge's sales pipeline.
• Contribute thought leadership content to enhance Colbridge Ventures' stature as a go-to commercial partner for climatetech startups.
• Support the development of internal tools to enhance our collective effectiveness.
• Although most of our work is remote, you'll need to be based in Europe and expected to travel to London 2-3 times per year.

Partner Team Expectations

The Partner team acts primarily independently on specific clients. As an entrepreneurial position, you'd be expected to cover yourself through income from your own dealflow that we will help you bring in.

Ideal Candidate

• You are a former climatetech founder or early employee who has successfully grown the company and seek to continue to work in hands‑on roles within climatetech startups.
• You're looking for the challenge and thrill of being part of the leadership team of climatetech start‑ups but without the all‑in risk of being associated with being in just one.
• Have at least 3 years commercial experience in Food & Agritech, working to grow the company and ideally helping to raise funds.
• You've led and mentored tech teams and ideally have some consulting experience.
• Some technical background, whether through a university education in science/engineering subjects or work experience in technical environments.
• You're whip‑smart, easy to work with, and have high energy positivity.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or above.
• 3+ years' commercial and fundraising experience in Food & Agritech startups.
• 10+ years' experience in commercial roles in the technology startup sector.
• Founder or early employee of a climatetech startup.
• Science/engineering academic background or substantial experience in science/engineering‑based companies.
• Excellent interpersonal and verbal communication skills.
• Strong leadership, people management, and team building skills.
