About the role
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 aren't theirs. Most of them didn't spend six years studying to become someone else's 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 it's 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
Understanding of regulated healthcare environments, billing and reimbursement logic
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.
Benefits
What we offer:
Direct collaboration with experienced founders and operators
Access to capital from day one
Strategic and operational support during the build phase
Access to an entrepreneurial network across venture, finance and operations
Joint ideation and company building
Extremely entrepreneurial environment with high ownership
Potential long-term founder role with meaningful equity participation
Unlike traditional startup environments, our goal is to build businesses that can reach profitability early and scale sustainably over time.
Lets build the future of VetTech togehter.
