Careers at Phira Ventures | Join a High-Impact, Purpose-Driven Venture Studio

What We Believe In

We’re not perfect. We’ve made hiring mistakes in the past. But we’ve learned one thing over and over again:

People are the single most important asset in any venture.

‍We believe in investing deeply in the right people - those with ambition, resilience, and a hunger to build. If you’re the right person, we think we have something quite special to offer:

The chance to join or launch
something meaningful

the opportunity to grow faster
than anywhere else

and a team that truly
values talent over title

We hold ourselves to high standards, and we’ll hold you to the same.

But if that sounds exciting rather than intimidating, you might just be in the right place.

Three Ways to Join Phira

Entrepreneur-in-Residence Program

This program is designed for exceptional talent with the drive to build, even if you don’t yet have the right idea or capital. If you’re determined to become an entrepreneur, we’ll work with you to co-create a venture from the ground up.

Strategic Venture Investment

This program is for founders who are already building something promising. We offer more than capital - we bring first-hand entrepreneurial experience, access to a world-class network, and can deploy our own Phira team where it counts.

Our Work Culture

At Phira, we combine our European roots with a US-style bias toward speed, ownership, and ambition. We’re entrepreneurs ourselves, across multiple industries. That means we don’t just talk about building, we do it.

If you work with us, you’ll gain rare, behind-the-scenes insight into how different ventures are built, tested, and scaled - from e-commerce to SaaS to media and beyond. We also expect real ownership from everyone who joins.

No micromanagement. No hiding behind process. We trust people to take the lead, ask hard questions, and make things happen. Inspired by Netflix’s “freedom and responsibility” philosophy, we believe in giving talented people the space - and the trust - to do great work.

Growth Mindset

We believe the best way to learn is by doing and, yes, sometimes by making mistakes. That’s why everyone at Phira takes on real responsibility from day one.

Care Deeply, Work Hard

We don’t chase hustle culture, but we do care deeply about what we build. Our ventures have real missions, and we work hard to reach ambitious goals together as a team.

Open Feedback Culture

We believe in open, honest communication across all levels. Feedback is how we grow, improve, and build trust. At Phira, no one is too junior to speak up or too senior to be challenged.

We Build Together

We respect each other, support each other, and move forward as one team. Across roles and across ventures, collaboration is how we build things that last.

Why We Believe In Showing Up

‍

Especially in the early stages of building something new, we believe in the power of in-person collaboration. Creativity, clarity, and momentum happen faster when we’re in the same room. Testing ideas, iterating quickly, or solving hard problems together. That’s why we’ve moved away from being fully remote.

‍

We still work flexibly and care about outcomes, not formalities. But we’ve learned that being in person leads to faster decisions, clearer communication, and stronger momentum. At our Lisbon office, we foster a highly international environment that combines deep focus with shared energy.

What matters most to us is building something meaningful. Together.

Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much. - Helen Keller
