Investment Associate – Mental Health & Healthcare

Location: United States | Remote

About the Company

AMA Invest is an international investment holding company that builds and scales businesses in fast-growing and regulated industries shaping the future, including mental health tech, green energy, and digital health.

We operate at the intersection of investment, entrepreneurship, and technology, launching new companies and products across international markets in Europe and Asia, with a growing focus on the US market.

Our philosophy is to invest not only in capital but also in strong teams, innovation, and emerging categories that will shape the coming decades.

About the Role

We are looking for an Investment Associate to help expand the fund's deal flow across the US startup ecosystem, with a particular focus on mental health, healthcare innovation, neurotechnology, and related emerging sectors.

You will identify and assess promising startups and companies, connect with founders, conduct preliminary investment screening, and manage opportunities through the initial stages of the investment pipeline.

We are looking for someone who goes beyond simply searching for startups online and knows how to build a structured deal flow: identifying relevant companies, quickly filtering out less promising opportunities, communicating effectively with founders, and organizing information to help the fund's partners make informed investment decisions.

The ideal candidate is a strong analyst with an entrepreneurial mindset, a genuine interest in startups and emerging healthcare technologies, and the ability to independently manage a high volume of research, outreach, and preliminary analysis.
