Marvelous is a first-time DeepTech VC fund investing in scientific breakthroughs that power a trillion-dollar industrial transformation. Our mission is to turn today’s systemic challenges — waste, resource scarcity, and fragile supply chains — into tomorrow’s opportunities: circular, zero-emission, and resilient industries.
We bridge science and commercialization to scale the next generation of industrial champions unlocking scalable impact across food, agriculture, land use, construction, and resource-intensive sectors.
Our experienced team (150+ investments) invests early stage in DeepTech pioneers shaping this future through:
* Advanced Materials – Sustainable alternatives replacing pollution-heavy inputs
* Waste Cascading – Transforming industrial byproducts into high-value resources
* Carbon Capture & Utilization (CCU) – Monetizing CO₂ into fuels, chemicals, and materials
As we approach our first closing and move into the deployment phase, we are expanding our team to accelerate our investments and help scale the next generation of DeepTech industrial champions.
Tasks
As an Investment Partner or above, you will sit at the intersection of impact, science, and finance — driving our mission forward through strategic dealmaking, thought leadership, and collaborative institution-building. You will lead capital formation efforts, engage deeply with LPs, and represent the firm across the Venture Capital and DeepTech ecosystem.
* Investment Execution: Spearhead the end-to-end investment process — including deal sourcing, due diligence, term sheet negotiation, and transaction execution. Evaluate market dynamics, business models, and technological differentiation to identify scalable and impactful opportunities.
* Portfolio Support: Take board seats and work closely with founders to drive strategic growth. Support startups with fundraising, business development, team building, and scaling operations.
* LP Engagement: Strengthen our capital-raising efforts by engaging with Limited Partners. Help nurture and expand our LP network and represent Marvelous’ investment strategy and mission in fundraising conversations.
* DeepTech Sector Intelligence: Refine and expand Marvelous' perspective across our investment sectors. Conduct deep, hypothesis-driven analyses to sharpen our investment lens and identify disruptive innovation trends.
* Community & Ecosystem: Represent Marvelous at industry events, conferences, and within the broader ClimateTech and DeepTech ecosystem. Build visibility, share insights, and foster meaningful relationships with founders, researchers, and fellow investors.
* Company Building: Shape the internal structure and strategy of Marvelous. Help define operational investment processes, support hiring efforts, and contribute to building a high-performing, inclusive team and enduring firm culture.

* Well-established network in the LP and VC ecosystems
* Experience in working closely with technical founding teams and supporting company growth beyond capital
* Experience in building a fund, investment platform, or institutional VC presence from the ground up is a big plus
