Why BlackWood

We’re a lean, fast-moving, and ambitious team. We are still in the early days of building this firm, so essentially we are a start-up investing in start-ups. Therefore, at BlackWood you’ll have the opportunity to work directly with decision-makers, contribute tangibly from day one, and grow faster than in a traditional fund structure. This is your chance to help build a next-generation VC platform from the inside. If you are a top-tier candidate (you know who you are) then we want to chat with you.
