• Gain full exposure to the investment process: Work side-by-side with our investment team through the entire deal flow, from first contact and due diligence to investment committee and closing. You'll play a key role in evaluating opportunities and shaping investment decisions.
• Lead deep-dive research: Explore emerging technologies and market trends every week. Conduct sharp, data-driven analysis and present insights that influence our investment theses and strategic direction.
• Drive impact in portfolio projects: Support our portfolio founders hands-on, from building their go-to-market motion to automating workflows with AI and optimizing operations.

• You bring strong analytical capabilities and can move from technical papers to business models to founder conversations with ease.
• You work with extreme ownership and high agency, spotting opportunities, designing a plan, and executing without waiting for permission.
• You're genuinely curious about deeply technical domains. Whether you have an engineering background or just love learning how breakthrough technologies work, you're energized by technical depth.
• You communicate clearly and convincingly in both German and English, whether you're pitching a deal to partners or giving feedback to founders.

• Technical depth you won't find elsewhere : Most of our team are engineers and scientists, which lets you develop a genuine understanding of breakthrough technologies, not just assessment skills.

• Full venture stack visibility : See everything from AI-powered sourcing to automated portfolio support. Gain the whole picture of how a leading European Deep Tech fund operates.
• Full flexibility with a remote-first culture balanced by regular in-person gatherings across Europe.
• Competitive pay: The compensation package will be adjusted to your professional experience and will be well above an internship salary.
• The perfect launchpad for your next move : Whether you're heading toward a full-time VC role, a Chief of Staff position in our portfolio, or eventually starting your own venture, this position sets you up for what's next.
