  • Manage data pipelines and ensure reliable storage and access across platforms

  • Help define the tech infrastructure for long-term workflow automation

In recent years, HV has nurtured over 80 interns, many of whom have launched their careers within our ecosystem. We are passionate about sharing our knowledge and cultivating future industry leaders. Our team values initiative, curiosity, and pragmatic innovation, focusing not just on great startups but also on fostering great talent.

We recognise that venture capital can seem like a "closed shop," and we are dedicated to changing this perception. Our selection process is designed to be inclusive, placing more emphasis on your responses to our screening questions than on your CV. Additionally, we use cognitive ability tests to give you an opportunity to showcase your skills.
