Venture Capital and Private Equity Principals

Supernode Global

1-10

United Kingdom

Supernode Global is a leading venture capital fund investing in seed stage companies at the nexus of content and technology. 

We are a diverse and dynamic team that come from a mix of entrepreneurial, operational and investment backgrounds. As part of this small and mighty team, the Investment Principal will be a key member who will have the opportunity to make a real impact on the fund. A great fit would be someone who has a knack for connecting with founders on a human level, a collaborative spirit, strong interpersonal and communication skills, and an obsession for tech, content, and startups. 

Our portfolio currently consists of 29 companies based throughout the UK, Europe, and the U.S. Our aim as investors is simple: find the most promising startups and do whatever we can to support their growth. We have made introductions to critical customers and partners, overseen hiring processes, run PR outreach, introduced key investors, executed re-brands, found advisors and much more for our portfolio companies.
