Choukrane Hamoudi | Venture Capital Careers

I’m an Investment Associate and Innovation Consultant based in Tunis, with five years of experience across Africa and the Gulf. At PLNT Capital, I’ve helped develop a VC fund, contributing to investment thesis development, fundraising materials, deal sourcing, and due diligence on more than 50 startups. My experience spans venture building and startup support, helping founders strengthen their fundraising readiness, connect with investors, and expand into new markets. I’ve worked with and assessed startups across diverse sectors, including fintech, agtech, sports tech, and longevity. I bring financial analysis, practical experience working alongside entrepreneurs, and an understanding of African and MENA startup ecosystems. A DreamVC and African Development Bank Emerging Managers fellow, I’m seeking VC investment team opportunities where I can contribute to sourcing, investment analysis, and portfolio support. I’m fluent in Arabic, English, and French, and I’m continuing to develop my German language skills.
