Transforming Private Markets with Data

At Specter, we exist to replace lagging data with living signals.

When we were on the investing side, every “breaking news” alert was already stale. By the time a funding round or press release hit our dashboards, the field was crowded, the deal was priced, and the real opportunity was gone.

We started Specter because private markets deserve a live feed, not a rear-view mirror. Our platform tracks the leading indicators — the subtle signals in companies, people, and investors — that hint at tomorrow’s breakout before anyone writes the headline.

Today, over 300 top VC and PE firms rely on Specter daily to spot the first hints of momentum, win allocations earlier, and move with insight instead of inertia.

Why Join Us

We're at an exciting stage in our journey - established enough to offer stability, yet small enough that your contributions will have significant impact. Here's what you can expect when joining our team:

1. An environment where you have a real impact. Small team with lots of autonomy and few approval meetings. We dislike people management and the overhead required to manage large teams: we will build a huge product with a tiny team.
2. Work that matters. We are rebuilding the data infrastructure for the Private Market. If we succeed, our platform will become integral to the entire tech ecosystem.
3. Strong teammates. Every person we hire is "the best I know" according to someone on our team. You'll collaborate with such skilled and talented colleagues that your own growth and improvement will naturally accelerate.

Our Values

• No Fluff — At Specter, we work with clear goals and pragmatism.
• Speed — We move fast and build to last.
• Frugality — We do more with less, focusing only on what truly matters.
• Responsibility — We provide full individual ownership of work for extraordinary growth.

We don’t offer

• Predictability. We are a startup. We learn as we go and adapt. We have plans and roadmaps, but accept that they will change as we learn new things. We’re not in love with our ideas—“strong opinions, loosely held”.
• Peace and Quiet. The flip side of being in a position where you have real impact. In a small team, people depend on you. Work will not be a predictable 9-to-5.

Work Environment

• Office: We have an office in London, and the founders work from there.
  • If you're in London, we prefer in-person collaboration. Our team is based in Soho.
  • If you're not in London, we offer fully remote roles for team members in Europe or SEA.
