Our client is seeking entrepreneurial professionals to join as Advisors to support their expanding portfolio of pre-seed technology investments. This is a unique opportunity to play an active role in building the next generation of high-growth, sector-focused software businesses.

About Our client
Our client has launched three SEIS funds to date, achieving ~50% IRR by backing industry professionals leaving corporate roles to build software ventures solving real-world problems. A fourth fund is being raised, with a new GP/LP-style fund also in planning to increase capital deployment flexibility.

The Role
As an advisor, you’ll work closely with founders 1–2 days per week, offering strategic guidance, sector expertise, and hands-on support. This presents a valuable investment opportunity with the potential for strong returns. You’re also encouraged to invest personally to achieve maximum benefit from your involvement.

What’s on Offer

  • Day rate compensation aligned with market (minimum £1K + per day)
  • Co-investment opportunities alongside Our client
  • The chance to help shape and scale early-stage tech businesses with meaningful exits

Ideal Candidate
We're looking for experienced professionals or interims — such as ex-CFOs, COOs, or sector specialists — who are:

  • Entrepreneurial and commercially savvy
  • Willing to roll up their sleeves and get involved
  • Seeking more than a passive NED role
  • Comfortable committing capital and time to early-stage growth

This is not for those looking for light-touch advisory work or a traditional board seat — it’s about backing businesses with both your experience and your wallet.
Interested?

If this piques your interest, Cathy Kay at Russam would be delighted to speak in more detail.
