Point Nine Capital is an international early-stage venture capital firm based in Berlin. We’re a down-to-earth team with a diverse set of backgrounds but the same passion: startups and technology. Our mission is to find and back the best early-stage internet startups in Europe and help them achieve their full potential. We’re currently looking for an extremely smart and super-driven truffle pig (AKA Associate) who’s ready for a real challenge.
truffle pig search there’s now a second chance to become part of our success story. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity (well, maybe a twice-in-a-decade-opportunity), since we don’t hire that often for our small team.
What will you be working on?
If you become our next truffle pig you will:
- Help us find the next Eurocorn by assessing incoming investment leads and by pro-actively sourcing new deals.
- Evaluate investment opportunities and deep-dive into product assessments, market analyses, competitive research, financial models and other areas of due diligence.
- Work your behind off to help our portfolio companies in any imaginable way.
- Build and maintain great relationships with various stakeholders in the ecosystem and help us build a reputation for being a kick-ass founder-friendly VC in Europe.
What we think the right candidate will look like
- Just like us you have a huge passion for startups and an entrepreneurial mindset.
- Ideally, you already have at least 1-2 years of experience within the startup ecosystem (be it as a startup employee/founder or on the investment side).
- You’re a digital native. If someone in your family has an IT problem, you’re usually the one who has to fix it. Extra points if you can code.
- You can communicate with computers but you can also communicate with human beings (AKA you have outstanding interpersonal and communication skills and you are able to use them.)
- Cohort analysis is music to your ears.
- You love to build things.
- You quickly adapt to new situations and are a multi-tasking hero with amazing self organisation and task prioritisation skills.
- You’re fluent in English. Further language skills are a plus.
