Nucleation Capital invests in advanced nuclear and clean energy. We are building a network of Venture Scouts — technically minded people who come across promising early-stage companies and help us find them.
You do not need a finance background. You need to understand technology, and to know people who are building things.
What a scout does
Spot a company worth a look. Tell us about it. If we take it forward, help us understand the technology and the team. We handle the investors, the paperwork and the rules.
Who this is for
Engineers, researchers and technicians — in nuclear, energy and neighboring fields. People at universities, national labs, startups, government and large companies. If you are already around new ventures, you are in the right place.
What you get
- Training in how early-stage investing actually works, from people doing it.
- A share of the upside on deals you bring us.
- The chance to invest in the deals you bring us, without paying carry.
- A way into venture capital that is normally closed.
We go through the specifics with you before you start.
What we ask
This is part-time and unpaid. One good introduction a quarter makes you a productive scout. Judgment matters more than volume.
How it works
- Apply using the short form below.
- We read every application and come back to you.
- A twenty-minute call, so we can both decide.
- If it is a fit, you join the scout community, get the training, and start.
