What is Cerberus Ventures?
“Great-power competition” has changed – Visionary commercial technology is the new battleground, and nations are increasingly directing resources toward longer-term, existential challenges, from energy and food security to public health, labor productivity, and national security. Governments can’t solve the problems alone; private capital will be needed to invest in disruptive technologies that are poised to accelerate solutions. Cerberus Ventures is a dedicated investment platform that backs pioneering advancements in critical technologies addressing these challenges. We invest from Seed to Series B across 6 verticals: Processing & Microelectronics, Energy Infrastructure, Networks & Communications, AI- Enabled Productivity, Synthetic & Programmable Biology, and Physical & Digital Assurance. Our team is led by a unique group of experienced investors from In-Q-Tel, Cerberus, and global technology firms.
As a Venture Fellow, you will help identify and research opportunities across one of these verticals (or specific subsegments of these verticals). This role is ideal for those interested in career opportunities in venture capital, startups, R&D, or strategy consulting.
Responsibilities:
• Technical due diligence: Assist Cerberus investment professionals in company / industry research and due diligence
• Evaluate the technical merits and competitive differentiation of investment opportunities
• Comprehend and qualify the source of technical differentiation (review patents, understand proprietary processes, etc.)
• Assess technical risks and opportunities of product roadmaps

• Deep technical understanding of one or multiple of the following: nuclear fusion, small modular reactors (“SMRs”), molten salt reactors (“MSRs”), advanced fuel cycles, hydrogen, renewable energy, etc.
• Ability (or deep curiosity / willingness) to bridge technical research to commercial insights – e.g., How do the target company’s specs align with customer needs? What would it take for competition to displace the target company’s technology? How feasible is the technology’s path to operationalization / commercialization?
Preferred knowledge of:
• The startup landscape in advanced energy generation
• The energy value chain, from raw materials to generation, transmission, distribution, storage, and ultimately, end-users
