Venture Capital Jobs and Internships at Social Planet Ventures

Startups are super-tools to change the world. Let’s build stuff that matters.

Social Planet Ventures invests in hyper-ambitious startups that want to address the world’s most pressing social challenges with solid and scaleable tech solutions.

The reason is simple; We believe that in the future, some of the most valuable businesses will be those that deliver meaningful and positive social outcome for millions of people and for society at large – alongside their financial success.

We search for companies with such a vision and can assist with setting a scaleable foundation in the initial and very fragile stage.

Advancing social cohesion

We want to invest in visionary founders with innovative superior tech solutions that strengthen social cohesion by addressing problems of inequality, marginalisation and exclusion;

Education and re-skilling 

20% or 50 million jobs in the European Workforce is expected to be automated by 2030. That will not lead to fewer jobs but to different types of jobs, which will require a massive re-skilling of our existing workforce to empower people to actively participate in our society.

Preventive health and wellbeing

By 2050, the share of people over 65 will be around 30%, compared to around 20% today. This will put a pressure on our welfare system. 

In EU today, we spend 3% of total public and private health care expenditures on preventive health. We expect to see wave of new ways to better detect and prevent people from getting sick to keep the same quality of care.

Inclusive work-life

With a shrinking workforce, we need to be much better at understanding and foster diversity, equity and inclusion to unlock the full potential of everyone. Closing the gender/skill gap in EU tech jobs alone has a potential of GDP increase of as much as €600 billion according to McKinsey.

Sustainable living

100 million people in the EU is at risk of poverty or social exclusion.

New technology can provide a foundation for more sustainable and inclusive communities that offers attractive careers, businesses, infrastructure, and living opportunities to secure a long-term resilient society. 

Inclusive financial services 

More than 30% of people in EU do not save for retirement because they can’t afford it. In average low-income households pays a Poverty Premium of up to €1,000 a year for essential products and services due to reasons that they cannot control, such as where they can afford to live.

Open banking, blockchain and AI creates new opportunities and democratise access to financial services to create better societal resilience.
