To support our founding team in LEIPZIG, we’re looking for a passionate person with an interest in venture capital and entrepreneurship as Student Assistant (“Werkstudent”) (m/f/d) starting as soon as possible for 10 - 20 hours / week.

Smart Infrastructure Ventures (‚SIVentures‘) is a private venture capital fund. Our office is based in Leipzig’s city centre where we are focussing on venture capital investments in early-stage software startups. We invest from € 300k in companies within Energy, IT-Infrastructure, AI application, Proptech, Mobility, etc.

Our hands-on team of three founders has extensive international knowledge in finance, entrepreneurship, innovation & venture capital. We provide access to infrastructure (co-working office space and technology), coaching and mentoring, as well as to our international network of successful business founders, established market players and leading investors. As SIVentures is a startup itself, there are limited pre-defined structures and processes so you will have a lot of flexibility and responsibility. Therefore, being a self-starter with a hands-on mentality is a must.

Your tasks:

· Proactively source startups of different sectors

· Attend pitch events & conferences to identify promising startups

· Speak to founders about their startups, traction & fundraising

· Review & evaluate those startups

· Maintain startup databases

· Research projects within venture capital

· General support of our founding team

Your profile:

· Leipzig based (which is a MUST)

· At least 1 year until your graduation (preferably Master)

· Currently studying for a Science or Business Degree, with an excellent academic track record

· Hands-on-mentality!

· Reliable self-starter

· High level of commitment & motivation

· Proficiency in German and English (both written and oral)

· Experiences in venture capital and/or entrepreneurship advantageous (either as part of your studies or through an internship)

We offer:

· A fun, creative & international working environment within the startup accelerator SpinLab

· A small motivated team where you work directly with founders & receive direct feedback

· Many opportunities to develop yourself and to broaden your skill set

· A high level of responsibility and ambitious tasks within a strong team

· After a starting phase onsite, we will offer flexible working time and partially remote work

The starting date is flexible – let us know in your application when you can start.
