About Athvance Capital

Athvance Capital is a European sports investment platform that acquires and operates majority and minority stakes in sports IP - across multiple verticals. 

Structured as an evergreen industrial group rather than a traditional closed-end fund, we create long-term value by deploying proprietary technology and media infrastructure across our portfolio companies.

Founded by operators and investors from JP Morgan, DAZN, Eleven Sports and LVMH, Athvance closed an initial €60M round in 2025 and is scaling toward €100M+ in net asset value. 

The role

We are looking for an Analyst to join our team in Paris, working directly under the guidance of the Investment Director and the Managing Director.

You will sit at the centre of our deal flow - pre-screening the opportunities we receive, assessing co-investment situations, and helping sharpen the proprietary tools we use to evaluate them. 

You will also gain exposure to the finance and reporting side of the house, from portfolio monitoring to NAV - giving you an unusually complete view of how an investment platform actually runs.

It is a high-exposure seat for a junior professional who wants to learn the full mechanics of investing, from first look to portfolio value creation.
