Thomas Kamdem Djoko | Venture Capital Careers

I am a Financial Analyst with experience across venture capital, financial modelling, valuation, audit, and operational advisory. At EDUCAPITAL, a €200 million European EdTech and Future of Work fund, I reviewed more than 230 investment opportunities and contributed to transactions ranging from €3 million Seed rounds to €38 million Series C deals across multiple geographies and sectors. I have supported founders with fundraising, financial modelling, business planning, and strategic materials, while also producing market intelligence and portfolio monitoring analyses. My background includes DCF and multiples-based valuation, due diligence, audit and consolidation, and financial structuring for both commercial and social economy organisations. I am bilingual in French and English, immediately available, rigorous, intellectually curious, and comfortable communicating complex financial and strategic topics. I also bring strong public speaking, interpersonal, and team collaboration skills developed through competitive debating and student leadership.
