KIBO Ventures
We are launching our 2023 Analyst program in Venture Capital. It is a 2-year program that will start no later than Q1 2023 and will give you the opportunity to become part of our investment team.
It is a full-time offer based in Madrid. Your primary role will be to help the investment team finding and evaluating new opportunities, supporting the operations team in reporting tasks, and contributing to internal projects. You will be exposed to a huge range of technology themes and companies, and will have the opportunity to work in an international and fast-paced environment.
This 2-year program will help you decide your next career move, which can be as challenging as launching your own startup, continuing your experience in venture capital, moving to a high growth startup (hopefully one of our portfolio companies!) or becoming an MBA candidate. Either way, we would love to help you figure it out and pursue your next professional move.
