Missions

- Supporting portfolio companies with analysis, research, and connections, and building your network across Europe's startup and VC ecosystem.
Profil recherché
- You are in the final stages of your Bachelor's degree, currently pursuing a Master's, or have already graduated and you have at least one prior internship under your belt. Experience in a fast-moving environment - whether a startup, a VC fund, consulting, or private equity - gives you a stronger foundation for this role, though we care more about what you took away from the experience than the name on the letterhead- A genuine interest in technology, startups, and venture capital - whether that comes through work experience, your own projects, reading, or building things on the side
- We don't have a fixed template for the ideal candidate. Some of our best interns came from finance, others from engineering, the humanities, or paths that didn't fit any obvious category. A few things we do ask for:
- Curiosity that goes beyond the surface - you tend to go deeper than required, ask the question behind the question, and form your own point of view
- Clear thinking and clear communication - you can structure an argument, explain something complex simply, and update your view when new information arrives
- Evidence of initiative - something you've built, launched, competed in, or written, that shows you take action on your interests rather than just holding them
- The ability to work with us full-time for 3-6 months, starting in the first half of 2027, with the relevant work permit for your preferred office
- A technical or niche background is a bonus, particularly if it maps to an area of active investment focus. We are committed to building a team that reflects the diversity of the founders and markets we work with, and we welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds
