We are an early-stage venture capital fund for founders, backed by founders. We set up PROfounders in 2009 to invest in and support the next wave of entrepreneurs. We believe that investing is more than just a financial commitment – we aim to be partners through the hard times as well as the good times. Our focus is on European companies with disruptive models that leverage technology to transform and improve customer experiences. We invest at early venture phase - when the company is typically raising £/€ 1-3m to scale. We know that capital is a scarce resource. We also know that time is something that you can never have enough of. We respect the time of all entrepreneurs and we aim to be as efficient and productive with your time as possible, whether you are just setting out on the journey, or looking to raise money, or part of the portfolio.

Founded in 2003 and constantly evolving, Brightsparks’ mission is to connect talented people throughout their careers to help them, and their organisations, fulfil their potential. We believe peoples’ careers encompass so much more than just their jobs, so we need to be much more than just recruitment to support them. We exist to create the platform that ignites the potential in others, building a community of Brightsparks that not only succeed but in turn inspire others to do the same. Our unique business model develops and maintains relationships with our community throughout their studies and careers, creating a self-supporting network of people, ourselves included. The size and quality of this community creates a network of people much greater than its sum of parts. Our recruitment, assessment and training process is rigorous and second to none within the industry. As we appeal largely to the Student Population, we focus on candidates’ soft skills including Work Ethic, Communication & Team-work and Presentation rather than CVs as we understand many candidates may be coming to us for their first job. We provide dedicated Account Managers so clients and Brightsparks alike have direct access to someone in HQ who has the relevant knowledge at their finger-tips. Brightsparks will never feel just like a number, we encourage an open dialogue to ensure staff feel they can come to us with any concerns and take great care to get to know all new Brightsparks who work with us. Rates for our Clients are competitive and flexible and reflect the great level of service and staff that you receive. HIRE: * Bright & reliable front of house hospitality, promo & retail staff GET HIRED: * Fun & flexible events, hospitality, promo & retail work for students & recent graduates
