In addition to transaction screening, performing due diligence and supporting our portfolio companies, you will help to shape our investment strategy and culture.
The Team
MassMutual Ventures is a multi-stage, global venture capital firm investing in financial technology, digital health, enterprise SaaS, climate technology and cybersecurity companies.

We have over 20 investment team members located in Boston, London and Singapore, all of whom share a passion for identifying and supporting the founders of exceptional early-stage companies. Through our presence in the US, Europe and Asia, we offer portfolio companies insights into global markets and access to significant networks, expertise and later stage capital.

You are a born networker, take ownership of tasks and see them through to completion. You can analyze complex markets, nascent value chains and clusters of early-stage companies and recommend investments to senior teammates. You think critically and constructively about strategic and commercial issues. You either have personal experience as an entrepreneur or a very high degree of empathy and passion to support those doing it.
