Venture Capital Lawyer

Our client is an international investment firm and incubator focused on early-stage investments across global markets. Their portfolio spans the iGaming, FinTech, SaaS, and Digital Media sectors, where they actively support portfolio companies in driving growth.

They work closely with ambitious founders, offering not only capital but also strategic insight and operational expertise to help accelerate success. Integrity and reputation are fundamental to how they operate, and they measure their success through the performance of their partners.

To date, they have invested in more than 60 companies, achieved five successful exits, and maintain an active portfolio of over 55 companies.

As part of their continued expansion, our client is seeking an experienced Venture Capital Lawyer to join their team.
