Transforming Private Markets with Data

At Specter, we're on a mission to bring transparency and efficiency to private markets. We believe that better data leads to better investment decisions, and we're building the tools that make this possible.

We started with a bold vision: to create the definitive data platform for private markets. While traditional information sources often provide outdated or incomplete data, our platform delivers real-time insights that help investors identify opportunities and make informed decisions.

Our dedication to understanding the nuances of private markets has attracted over 300 leading VC and PE firms who rely on Specter daily. We've grown as a self-funded, profitable startup by focusing on what matters most - delivering exceptional value to our customers.

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.
• Work Style: We're not a traditional 9-to-5 company. We value results over hours logged, but expect a high level of commitment and responsiveness.
