About Capsa AI

Empowering Private Equity with Advanced AI – Capsa AI is an operating system that aggregates, structures, and generates insights from company and market data.


Our AI solutions reduce time spent on mechanical tasks and increase returns by analysing vast amounts of data to provide clear, actionable insights. Our vision is to become the leading AI platform for private capital funds, transforming how private investments are analysed and managed.


Our Team and Progress

Our founding team has deep domain expertise in Private Equity and AI. Our CEO, Danyal, has over 6 years of experience in Private Equity and Investment Banking at blue-chip financial institutions such as AEA Investors, Citigroup, and Deutsche Bank. Our CTO, Callum, has over 6 years of experience in Machine Learning and AI, having worked at leading defense companies like QinetiQ and retail tech startups such as Standard AI. The entire team are early stage startup veterans, with a passion for building great products.


Just one year after our December 2023 founding, we are already generating revenue, serving top-tier PE funds managing over £30 billion across the US, UK, and Germany. Furthermore, we’ve raised over £1.8 million in funding from prominent fintech venture capitalists and private equity angels, underscoring the confidence of industry leaders in our vision and potential.


Our Philosophy

  • Small team: Small talented teams outperform large and slow-moving companies. We avoid bureaucracy, keep meetings to a minimum and focus on creating value.
  • Simple where possible:We are passionate about new technology (in particular Machine Learning and AI), but we are more passionate about solving problems for our customers. We strive to find the best solution, be it cutting-edge or old-school.
  • Customer obsessed:We take every opportunity to talk to our customers. We obsess over their problems and work every day to make them happy.


About the Role

We are looking for a senior software engineer who wants to help shape the future of private equity and our company. As an early stage engineer you will:

  • Help design our application architecture.
  • Ship features that our users care about, wherever they are in the stack.
  • Participate in strategy and product ideation sessions, influencing our product roadmap.

  • Experience the process of taking the company from 0.5 to 1.

  • You have taken entire products or features from ideation to deployment and you’ve measured their impact.
  • You enjoy diving deep into the domain, understanding the problem, and focusing on delivering value to the customer.
  • You thrive in a fast paced environment.
  • You like to take ownership and work independently.
  • You are excited about joining an early-stage venture.
