Perth, Österreich Founders Factory Vollzeit

Who we are:

Founders Factory builds and funds startups together with exceptional entrepreneurs and the world's leading companies. Headquartered in London, Founders Factory backs visionary founders with capital, dedicated support from a team of 60+ operators, and unrivalled access to a coalition of industry leading corporate partners. Since 2015, our 300 portfolio companies have raised $950mm follow-on funding from leading investors in four continents.

We believe climate change is one of the major challenges of our time, and that technology and entrepreneurship have a critical role to play in the development of solutions that will drive our transition to a net zero future. In mobilisation towards this objective, Founders Factory has built a global Climate Tech platform to invest in transformational technologies across key industries and international hubs. 

Located in Perth, Western Australia and investing globally, we're launching two new Accelerator programs in partnership with the Western Australian Government and global mining company, Rio Tinto. Through these programs we will fund over 72 startups over the next 3 years in areas including decarbonisation, mining tech, and nature-based solutions.

Startups we invest in will include themes within nature, biodiversity, agriculture, food, forestry, water, built environment and the circular economy. 

As our Investment Program Lead, you will ensure the exceptional delivery of our accelerator program in partnership with Western Australia, bringing in experts from Founders Factory and beyond to deliver the program.

  • You will also work with founders through the accelerator programme and beyond to help with defining their product vision, go-to-market and fundraising strategy
