EUROPEAN PARTNER - THE FUND
COMPANY: STEVEN.COM
REPORTING TO: CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER
LOCATION: LONDON
ABOUT STEVEN.COM FUND
The first fund, Flight Fund, backed the most disruptive founders in consumer and tech: the innovators building products people can't put down, and companies that go on to define their category. It has been incredibly successful, backing category-defining companies such as SpaceX, Groq, Huel, Replit, and Lovable. Founded by Steven Bartlett, Fund II is the next chapter of Flight Fund, building on its blueprint and its success.
Fund II continues our focused thesis in Series A consumer product and consumer/prosumer tech, with a growth-stage lens for backing the next generation of category-defining companies.
The funds sit within Steven.com, the end-to-end operating system for the creator economy, designed to scale what is irreplaceably human. Steven.com scales creators across Media, Community, and Products, powered by proprietary tech and data and an obsessed team of 150 experts across the UK and US. Founders who join the portfolio get more than capital; they gain mentorship, guidance, and access to the full Steven.com ecosystem and Steven's wider network.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
