About 2150
2150 invests in the technologies reshaping the physical world. We back transformative companies redefining how the real economy operates: how we generate energy, manufacture goods, move people and materials, build our environments, and apply AI across critical physical systems. By focusing on the foundations of global prosperity, 2150 supports solutions that make them more efficient, resilient, and sustainable. We partner with ambitious founders building globally significant companies at the forefront of their markets, delivering both financial performance and measurable benefits for people and the planet. The firm manages €500 million in assets under management and invests worldwide from offices in London and Copenhagen.
Having recently announced the final close of our new Fund and with €500m of assets under management, we are now looking for an exceptional investor to join the team. 2150 is hiring a Principal to help originate, evaluate, win and manage outstanding investment opportunities across our core areas of focus on both sides of the Atlantic. This is a senior investment role for someone who combines strong venture judgment, commercial instinct, analytical rigor and intellectual curiosity. The right person will be capable of leading investment work independently, building conviction in complex markets, developing differentiated theses, supporting portfolio companies, and helping raise the standard of the firm. We would expect the ideal candidate to have the gravitas to help build 2150’s voice and reputation in the market and to act as a mentor and leader to younger team members. The role is based in London, with regular interaction across our wider team and international travel where required.

Your Experience & Skills
The ideal candidate will combine venture investing experience, commercial judgment, analytical depth, and strong mission alignment. We are especially interested in candidates who have seen excellent investing up close and are now looking for more ownership, more responsibility and a platform they can help build. You may be a good fit if you are:
- Venture-proven: Experience in venture capital or growth equity across sourcing, diligence, IC materials, transaction execution, and portfolio support.
- Commercially sharp: Strong understanding of customer behavior, market dynamics, and what drives venture-scale businesses.
- Analytically rigorous: Able to turn complex information into clear investment judgments. Comfortable with market sizing, financial modeling, unit economics, and competitive analysis.
