Vauban

ABOUT US

Vauban was founded by Remy Astie and Ulric Musset in 2017 with a passion to democratise the way capital is deployed into startups. The guys met back in their freshman year of university and have been best friends since. They have been involved in other ventures and projects together previously, but it was a common interest in early stage tech businesses, as well as investing which led them to the idea which kickstarted Vauban.

At the most simplistic level, we make it easy for people to pool and deploy capital. We have been helping investors funding over $800m in companies such as Airbnb, SpaceX, Tide and many more. We are not stopping there - we are on a mission to democratise private investment and unlock trillions in capital.

We have been backed by key venture partners such as PenTech, Outward, Kima Ventures, West Loop Ventures, United First Partners, and Pi Labs. In the early months of 2021 we raised Series A funding. Our ambitious plans include doubling our headcount in a year and expanding to $1bn in assets under management by the end of 2021!

HOW WE HIRE

We believe strongly in meritocracy above all else. This means that we apply fair and structured hiring practices to ensure that the most talented candidates join our ranks. We have a transparent interview process where you have meaningful interactions with key stakeholders at each stage.

HOW WE WORK

Changing the alternatives investments world isn't easy, and it sometimes means intensive work and seemingly-impossible goals. Yet we are all Pioneers in the use of unconventional methods, with the Courage to tackle systematic legacy to re-write the future of alternative investments. We must master versatile areas of expertise as Polymaths of the 21st Century, and always aim to deliver 110% to achieve exceptional results.

HOW WE RELAX

We live, breathe and celebrate as a team - therefore when we are not busy changing the alternative investments world, we regularly go out for dinners and even enjoy the odd gaming night once in a while (although not mandatory!). We have also been known to throw some of the very best parties in Shoreditch!
