About Mouro Capital

At Mouro Capital, we are a venture capital firm specializing in fintech, dedicated to supporting visionary entrepreneurs who are transforming the landscape of finance and money management.

We recognize the immense potential of fintech to revolutionize financial services, necessitating a distinct type of investor who offers profound industry knowledge, proactive assistance, valuable connections, and a genuine commitment to reimagining the sector's future.

With $400 million in investment commitments and promising growth prospects, we focus on early to growth-stage startups across the fintech spectrum in Europe, North America, and Latin America from our offices in key global cities. Our portfolio includes approximately 50 companies, with notable names such as iZettle (acquired by PayPal), Ripple, Socure, Truelayer, Uncapped, Creditas, and Upgrade.

The Role of Research at Mouro Capital

The Research Function is integral to Mouro Capital's thesis-driven investment strategy. It collaborates closely with the Investment Team to achieve significant outcomes in two primary areas: (i) providing internal support by exploring new thematic areas, sourcing and executing investment opportunities, and later assisting the portfolio, and (ii) generating content for external distribution.

Your Responsibilities

  • Work alongside the investment team to develop investment theses and targeted strategies across various fintech and related sectors. Conduct comprehensive market research and analyses, utilizing insights from industry experts (founders, venture capitalists, executives) to evaluate market opportunities, customer needs, and the competitive landscape. Deliverables will include detailed reports, market maps, competitive analyses, and due diligence materials.
  • Analyze and distill complex information to pinpoint the strengths and weaknesses of startups, aiding the team in forming convictions both thematically and regarding specific opportunities.
  • Maintain a broad awareness of trends in the venture capital and technology markets, effectively communicating insights to both internal and external stakeholders.
  • Enhance existing processes and develop new ones to boost productivity in investment and due diligence operations, communications, and knowledge management.
  • Assist the team with website updates and content creation for newsletters aimed at expanding our reach within the broader ecosystem.
  • Handle additional tasks as they arise, embracing the dynamic nature of the role.

Qualifications

  • A minimum of 3 years of experience in reputable consulting roles (either in-house or advisory) with a proven track record in delivering high-quality market research, ideally within fintech and/or financial services.
  • Familiarity with and enthusiasm for the venture capital industry and startup ecosystem, including an understanding of industry jargon and key startup metrics.
  • A strong intellectual curiosity, capable of identifying market trends and opportunities.
  • A balanced skill set in finance, strategy, and analysis, all of which are crucial for this role.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a command of English; proficiency in another language is a plus.
  • Ability to work autonomously and manage multiple projects across various assignments and time zones.
  • Proficiency in PowerPoint and Excel (basic modeling skills).
  • Eligibility to work in the UK.

What You Can Expect

  • An engaging, passionate, and impact-driven environment where every team member can contribute and share ideas freely.
  • A team of fintech enthusiasts dedicated to discovering and supporting entrepreneurs who are innovating within the industry.
  • A workplace that values diversity in all its forms and actively promotes inclusivity in our daily operations and ecosystem.
