🚀 Trind Ventures backs early-stage European startups in B2C, marketplaces, and PLG-driven B2B. We are currently deploying our €55M Fund II, with initial tickets ranging from €100k to €1M. As part of the investment team, my responsibilities include: - Identifying potential investment opportunities. This includes hundreds of founder calls across industries – a definite highlight! - Using my analytical skills to evaluate the startups, diving deep into their numbers and metrics. Happy to discuss the unit economics, LTV/CAC ratio, retention, etc... - Being part of the investment process, helping conduct due diligence and put together investment materials. - Supporting our existing portfolio companies, with a founder-first, non-intrusive approach. - Building and maintaining relationships with founders and other stakeholders in the startup ecosystem. Attending key industry conferences, such as Slush, Latitude59, TechChill, and TechBBQ, has enabled me to build a strong European network, with a focus on the Baltics and Finland.
