About Planet A:

Planet A is a leading early-stage tech VC backing European founders tackling the world’s greatest systemic challenges. We take a scientific approach to identify breakthrough solutions the world can’t afford to ignore across energy, resource mastery, neo-manufacturing, and critical infrastructure. Investments include INERATEC, Makersite, C1, HIVED, traceless materials and 44.01. As a small team with flat hierarchies, we live by our core values: excellency, transparency, trust, humbleness, conviction, and respect.

You’ll be working with our Summit Lead and Brand and Communications Manager to deliver our most important external-facing platform: the Planet A Summit.

This is the firm’s flagship, invitation-only gathering, bringing together 300+ of Europe’s leading climate-tech founders, investors, operators, scientists and policymakers.

You’ll be contributing to a core, firm-wide priority, as the event and its related initiatives directly shape our deal flow, portfolio support, network and the firm’s public presence.

The role is ideal for someone looking to move into venture capital, investor platform teams or brand and community roles within funds.
