Description of Role
Colbridge Ventures is a growth advisory firm for climatetech startups. We act as fractional commercial execs within clients' management teams to accelerate the growth and financing of early stage deeptech firms operating in the climate arena. We are all former founders and operators, with decades of commercial expertise, committed to supporting the development of technologies that combat climate change.
As we've grown beyond our existing capacity, we are looking for another Partner to work with the team to develop new opportunities to commercialise the industrial biotechnology space.
Key aspects of the role are:
- Work alongside client management teams to refine commercial strategy, develop sales models, fill pipelines, test marketing channels, and structure partnerships
- Write fundraising materials and support clients in delivering high quality pitches and securing funds
- Reach out to climatetech startups to develop Colbridge's sales pipeline
- Contribute thought leadership content to enhance Colbridge Ventures' stature as a go-to commercial partner for climatetech startups
- Support the development of internal tools to enhance our collective effectiveness

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Although most of our work is remote, you'll need to be based in Europe and expected to travel to London a few times per year.
The Partner team act primarily independently on specific clients. As an entrepreneurial position, you'd be expected to cover yourself through income from your own dealflow that we will help you bring in. We are building a deep and extensive network among climatetech VCs and accelerators to aid the pipeline.
