Tasks
The special thing about an internship with us is that you can work independently and responsibly in a small team (Alina, Tim, Adrian, Ann Kathrin, Caro, Daniel) and gain insights into all the different areas of everyday VC life right from the start. These include:
-
- Deal sourcing from promising early-stage startups: Search for promising spin-offs and newly founded startups, talk to colleagues at NXTGN, and conduct trend, market, and competitive analyses.
-
- Independently conduct initial screening interviews with startup founders: Each time, you will learn about new technologies, business models, and markets and face the exciting task of evaluating them.
-
- Occasionally, we’ll conduct in-depth analysis of the companies, and the results will ultimately be presented to our Investment Committee. You’ll be involved throughout.
-
- What will also be part of it: event management, operations, investor reporting, preparation of presentations, desk research, CRM, … depending on the month and quarter, you will have more or less to do with these.
-
- Particularly important: You will support us with portfolio support and work closely with our founders, giving you insight into several, often very different, startups.
-
- The topics that you encounter daily at Mätch VC and that particularly interest you will accompany you in your free time: reports, books, tutorials… you follow your passion and can help us build the “Next Generation Mittelstand” in Europe 🚀 Interns have already played a decisive role in several of our investments.
