Associate
The Associate will play a key role in supporting the GP across sourcing, due diligence, and portfolio management. This role offers hands-on exposure to all aspects of fund operations and is designed as a growth opportunity, with the potential to expand into a larger role in Fund II.
Analyst Program
The Senatus Fund Analyst Program is a low-cost, high-impact initiative designed to significantly expand our reach and deepen our understanding of early-stage investment opportunities. Built on a proven framework developed by Peter Callister over more than a decade, the program allows us to screen a high volume of startups efficiently—enabling the fund to engage with 5–10x more companies than a typical single-GP model.
Analysts conduct structured interviews with founders, gathering key insights that often aren’t captured in pitch decks or investor materials. This hands-on process not only sharpens our due diligence but also uncovers promising, overlooked startups that align with our thesis. With a team of analysts contributing varied perspectives, the program enhances decision-making, reduces bias, and strengthens our ability to identify high-potential investments.
Led by a senior analyst and run with minimal overhead, the program is both scalable and cost-effective, giving Senatus Fund a distinct edge in sourcing, evaluating, and backing exceptional founders early.
