Investment Intern - Venture Capital

About Tholus Capital

Tholus Capital is an early-stage European venture capital firm investing in technologies that bolster security, resilience, and sustainable strategic advantages. Our core mission is to achieve outstanding financial returns by supporting exceptional founders and transformative technologies. Concurrently, we are motivated by the belief in the vital role private capital plays in enhancing security and long-term competitiveness.

European and Global Focus

We see Europe's defense and resilience sectors as among the 21st century's most promising investment prospects. Europe must adopt emerging technologies to reinforce its sovereignty, take greater responsibility for its security, and maintain global competitiveness. While Europe lies at the heart of our strategy, our investments also span allied nations globally to capitalize on trusted partnerships and cutting-edge innovations.

Broad Investment Approach

Although we prioritize defense, we adopt a wide lens on resilience. Credible deterrence, empowered by advanced military technologies, is central to maintaining peace. Yet resilience spans critical infrastructure, cybersecurity, energy, advanced manufacturing, communications, logistics, and other civilian sectors vital to national sovereignty and economic security.

Unique Ecosystem

Tholus Capital’s strength lies in its expansive ecosystem. Through our investment activities and MISSION 2044 platform—connecting founders, investors, policymakers, and military leaders—we have built an extensive international network in defense and resilience technology. This network offers exceptional access to investment opportunities, market insights, and strategic relationships, benefiting our investors and portfolio companies alike.
