Description

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 local services space together with ThirtyEight Capital. This is not a traditional operating role with predefined responsibilities. The goal is to jointly identify, validate and potentially build scalable and profitable businesses in highly fragmented service industries. Potential areas of focus include: - SHK / HVAC - Electrical services - Building services - Home modernization & infrastructure - Skilled trades - Service businesses around energy, maintenance and renovation We believe these markets offer massive opportunities: - highly fragmented supplier structures - low digitalization - weak customer experience - operational inefficiencies - and increasing long-term demand You might already: - work inside the industry - operate a small business - understand operational pain points - or have identified opportunities to modernize how these businesses are built and scaled Together, we would: - explore market opportunities - validate business models - develop operational concepts - build first customer traction - and potentially launch a venture together Our focus is on building operationally strong businesses with: - efficient customer acquisition - scalable systems - strong branding - and an early path to profitability We believe many of the best companies of the next decade will be built in “unsexy” industries where execution matters more than hype. Requirements We care less about perfect resumes and more about entrepreneurial drive, ownership mentality and strong execution capabilities. Relevant backgrounds could include: - Skilled trades / local services - Operations-heavy industries - Construction or building-related businesses - Sales or commercial roles - Entrepreneurship or startup experience - Service operations management You do not need previous founder experience. What matters most: - willingness to build from zero - bias for action - operational thinking - resilience - strong commercial instinct - curiosity and ownership mentality We are especially interested in people who: - already have ideas for improving the industry - have identified inefficiencies or customer pain points - or want to rethink how modern service businesses should operate and scale Benefits What we offer: - Direct collaboration with experienced founders and operators - Access to capital from day one - Operational and strategic support during the build phase - Access to network, infrastructure and growth expertise - Joint ideation and company building - High ownership and entrepreneurial responsibility - Potential long-term founder role with meaningful equity participation Our approach is focused on building real businesses with strong fundamentals and sustainable economics — not “growth at all costs”. If you are interested in building modern local service businesses and believe there are better ways to operate and scale these industries, we would love to hear from you. You do not need a polished pitch deck or finished business plan. A short introduction, your background and any ideas or observations about the industry are enough to start the conversation. The process will initially focus on shared exploration and idea validation — with the potential to evolve into a long-term founder partnership.
