Job Description

Why Benelux? With our Brussels office and portfolio companies like Odoo, Aerospacelab or Sirona, XAnge has a strong footprint in Belgium. We are now deepening our coverage of the Benelux tech ecosystem — and looking for someone to spearhead sourcing, build relationships with local founders, and become our go-to investor in the region.

Sourcing — Benelux Focus

  • Source and map the Benelux startup ecosystem (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg)

  • Conduct proactive deep dives on 3–4 sector themes per year

  • Build and maintain a strategic network: founders, angels, incubators, accelerators, universities, and co-investors across the region

  • Be XAnge's on-the-ground presence in the Benelux tech community

Qualification & Due Diligence

  • Analyze and select investment opportunities across France and Benelux

  • Present key opportunities at the weekly Monday meeting

  • Lead deep dives alongside a Partner/Principal: entrepreneur meetings, expert due diligence, memo preparation and IC presentation

Deal Making

  • Manage the internal investment process end-to-end

  • Participate in LOI negotiation, due diligence, audits, legal documentation, and coordination with back/middle office

Portfolio & Exit

  • Support portfolio companies: board preparation, reporting, fundraising, recruitment, and business planning

  • Contribute to exit processes: deal structuring, legal documentation, and closing

Transversal

  • Represent XAnge at startup events and in the media, particularly in Benelux

  • Contribute to team-wide initiatives: intern recruitment & training, LP relations, marketing, and Startup Success

Preferred Experience

  • Master's in business, engineering, or equivalent

  • 2–5 years of experience in VC, startups, or tech consulting

  • Strong understanding of tech industries and business models

  • Strong analytical skills and data-driven mindset

  • Empathetic listener with integrity and conviction

  • Fluent in English & French — Dutch or Flemish is a strong plus

  • Knowledge of the Benelux ecosystem highly valued

  • Agile with tools (we love Claude, Notion, Airtable, Affinity, n8n!)
