About ThirtyEight Capital

ThirtyEight Capital is a venture-building and investment platform focused on building scalable profitable businesses in large fragmented industries.

Rather than investing passively we partner with exceptional operators and entrepreneurs from the very beginning: helping them validate ideas shape business models and build companies from zero to one.

Our focus is not on building growth-at-all-costs startups.

We believe the best businesses are built with strong fundamentals from day one:

• clear customer value
• operational excellence
• efficient distribution
• and an early path to profitability

We particularly focus on sectors where execution matters more than hype:

• Energy & climate
• Local services
• Healthcare & consumer services
• Real estate
• Vertical software & operations

Most of the industries we target are highly fragmented operationally inefficient and underserved from a customer experience perspective - creating opportunities to build strong durable businesses with long-term value creation.

We are not looking for employees. We are looking for future founders who want to build real companies with real ownership.

Tasks

We are looking for entrepreneurial individuals interested in building companies in the vettech space together with ThirtyEight Capital.

Our thesis:
The German veterinary market is consolidating. Capital is buying up practices and the people who actually do the work are increasingly employed by someone whose interests arent theirs. Most of them didnt spend six years studying to become someone elses headcount but the alternative going out alone has become close to impossible: financing buildout staffing admin regulation and a business skillset nobody taught them. We think that gap is the opportunity and we think its addressable with infrastructure rather than capital alone.

This is for you if you might already:

• have identified inefficiencies in the market
• be exploring your own ideas or theses
• have industry experience
• or want to start a company but are looking for the right partner and setup

Together we would:

• explore market opportunities
• validate business models
• develop operational concepts
• build first commercial traction
• and potentially launch a venture together

Our approach focuses on building real businesses with strong fundamentals:

• operational excellence
• efficient customer acquisition
• clear unit economics
• and an early path to profitability

Rather than growth at all costs we believe in building durable companies with long-term value creation.

Requirements

We are less focused on traditional CVs and more interested in entrepreneurial potential ownership mentality and strong execution capabilities.

Ideal backgrounds could include:

• Veterinary or animal health industry experience clinical commercial or corporate
• Experience in multi-site healthcare operations clinics or practice management
• Commercial or sales-heavy backgrounds
• Entrepreneurial or startup experience
• Strong operational mindset

You do not need to have founded a company before.

What matters most:

• curiosity and initiative
• ability to operate in ambiguous environments
• willingness to build from zero
• strong work ethic
• commercial instinct
• desire to create a meaningful business long-term

We are especially interested in people who already bring: their own ideas market insights customer pain points or strong opinions on where the industry is heading.

• Direct collaboration with experienced founders and operators
• Access to capital from day one
