about you
We’re looking for an Events & Community Lead to own and scale our events and community platform as a strategic asset for the firm. In this role, you will design and run high-quality offline events, translate relationships into trusted online communities, and ensure that the most valuable moments with our ecosystem are identified, captured, and prepared for distribution through the right channels.
This role is open to a wide range of seniority levels. We care more about judgment, relevance, and signal than years of experience on a CV.

Our platform includes dedicated strategies for tech and health, a Growth Opportunity Fund for follow-ons, and a pro-bono initiative, Vision Lab. With €2.5 billion under management and a track record of 9 IPOs and 35 trade sales, Earlybird is one of Europe’s most established venture capital firms.
at earlybird, your projects, responsibilities, and tasks will likely include:
Own and evolve Earlybird’s events and community platform as a core part of the firm

Build repeatable systems that turn offline events into lasting online relationships and communities
Launch, grow, and engage trusted online communities aligned with our investment themes using platforms such as Slack, Discord, or similar
Work closely with the investment team to facilitate high-quality events and discussions, ensuring depth, relevance, and strong signal
