Sturgeon Capital is hiring Venture Capital Investment Professional – Bangladesh 2022 in Dhaka.
About the job
Our local hires are Sturgeon’s eyes and ears on the ground. They ensure that we see all the deals in the country, building relationships with other local VCs and founders from the idea stage so that we can be ready to invest when they reach Seed/Series A. They lead due diligence alongside the international team, and supported by our venture partner domain experts. Especially important is the qualitative information that differentiates us from other international investors without a presence on the ground. Post-investment they provide ongoing support for portfolio companies, maintaining a close relationship with the founder. In every role they are supported by Sturgeon’s regional and international team, sharing the experience of investing in multiple markets to make Sturgeon the investor of choice for the leading start-ups in each country we invest. In anticipation of our next fund launch, we’re looking to build out our investment team and are hiring in Bangladesh.
