Investment Analyst ( Software / AI / Cyber / Defence / Physical Science)
The UK Innovation & Science Seed Fund (UKI2S) is a £105m government-backed seed fund managed by Future Planet Capital, investing in early-stage companies in sectors critical to UK economic growth.
We invest at the earliest stages of company formation, often acting as a lead investor, and work closely with founders to build companies, crowd in private capital and scale breakthrough science and technology.
This role sits at the centre of that activity. Analysts and Associates are not purely support roles — they are a core part of the execution engine of the Fund, working across sourcing, diligence, transactions and portfolio development.
The role offers early responsibility, exposure to senior decision-making, and the opportunity to work across one of the most active deep-tech investment platforms in the UK.
You will work closely with Investment Directors and the wider team to:
- source and evaluate new investment opportunities
- lead elements of diligence and transaction execution
- support portfolio companies’ post-investment
- contribute to building the UKI2S Fund platform and ecosystem
You will operate across multiple portfolios and sectors, gaining broad exposure while developing deeper expertise in your core domain.
