Activant is a founder-led venture growth firm. Almost 50% of our team are full-time researchers.
“I love competing against old slow incumbents and I always get most nervous when things are going really well, I think that’s when you need to be the most vigilant.”
“Excellence is the simple discipline to do things right. It requires rejecting defensive complacency for high standards and the intellectual honesty to challenge ourselves as we listen, iterate, and build winning teams together.”
“For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to build companies. I count my lucky stars every day to wake up and work alongside some of the best founders in the world. There is no greater privilege in my book.”
“Technology is influencing our daily life and it’s fascinating to think that the next Amazon or SAP are being built right in front of us. I want to have a front-row seat for that.”
“The opportunity to leverage technology to reinvent businesses so that everyone wins is an imperative and challenge that is too good to miss. There is also huge value to be unlocked!”
“To sit alongside minds that are both rigorous and imaginative, working on problems that genuinely matter, is humbling in the best way. It’s a privilege to help create the conditions where that kind of work can happen.”
“Urgency is a discipline, not a personality trait — and so is the resilience required to sustain it. We work where speed and rigor have to coexist for the founders we back and the investors who back us.”
“Working at Activant allows me to support and partner with founders and entrepreneurs whose passion and conviction are contagious, the type of people who build boldly, solve complex problems, and relentlessly push ideas forward.”
“Success is measured by the heights you reach, but competition is the cornerstone of all things - for every great story was born in the moment someone refused to let another person’s pursuit outrun their own.”
“I’ve always been intellectually curious, loved a challenge, and want to see positive change in the world. For me, investing brings all of those together — backing the founders who are building a better future.”
“At Activant, I’ve found a team that shares my enthusiasm for the startup landscape — a place where collaboration, in-depth research, and lively debate lie at the heart of everything we do.”
“The best part about this job is that each day I get to partner with entrepreneurs who are shaping our future, offering them support while also being a student of their innovation.”
“Technology can feel like magic, but the real magic is in the founders who patiently build, iterate, and persevere. I’m always excited to work with them — bringing technical perspective, honest feedback, and long-term commitment.”
“I am fascinated by how innovation and investment fuel each other to drive meaningful change. At Activant, I have the opportunity to research transformative industries and collaborate with founders who are building the future.”
“What excites me about Activant is the chance to work with exceptionally smart people, whether founders, investors, or the Activant team. I hope not only to learn from the most ambitious founders but also to support them in scaling with confidence.”
“The chance to work with founders, investors, and researchers building the future of technology is what brought me to Activant. Identifying disruptive trends before they become obvious is the perfect environment for staying at the leading edge of innovation.”
