About

We are seeking a proactive and organized virtual assistant to help identify and connect with potential angel investors in the cycling industry.

Angel Investor Scouting Assistant (Cycling Industry Focus) Mission We are looking for a Personal Virtual Assistant / Research & Outreach Specialist to help us identify, contact, and schedule meetings with former or active professional cyclists who invest (or are interested in investing) in innovative sports or tech startups. This is a high-touch, relationship-based role, not a bulk outreach task. You’ll act as an executive connector — building a shortlist of the right names, finding personal or management contacts, and initiating warm, human-tone introductions. About SCIMM [www.scimm.eu] SCIMM is a Belgian sport-tech startup reinventing how performance apparel and equipment fit the human body. We build a geometry-based fit intelligence layer that connects the shape of products (cycling wear, saddles, bikes, etc.) with the geometry of real riders. Our mission: turn sizing chaos into geometry clarity. We are prepping to raising €2M to scale our Fit Matrix technology and data infrastructure.
