We are a small fund with a very small team where everyone plays an equally important role and contributes to the success of the fund as a whole. We are on the lookout for great additions to our team and welcome those who feel like entrepreneurs and are not afraid to get involved in anything a fund needs: from marketing and ops to research and investing.

• You have an entrepreneurial spirit and willingness to make a difference
• You are passionate about tech / startups, considering yourself a digital native
• You have strong communication skills, ideally demonstrated through some experience in marketing or community building
• You are purpose driven with the willingness to make the world a better place
• You have some operational experience or have worked at an Accelerator, Venture Builder or a VC fund
• You are fluent in English (German is a plus)
• You must have a work permit for theEU

What we offer you:

• An unmatched opportunity to actively shape a new up-and-coming VC Fund
• Working smart in a diverse team and becoming a part of one of the most prominent early-stage founder communities in Europe
• Individual mentorship and opportunities for your personal growth
• Insights on all aspects of venture capital, community building and entrepreneurship
• The opportunity to add new perspectives and develop the ecosystem

What you might be doing:

Depending on the individual profile and your seniority, you will invest across all sectors with a specific geo-focus on Austria. In addition, you will engage in the following activities:

• Manage internal and external dealflow
• Conduct market research, landscape analysis and deep-dives and turn it into content
• Represent the fund at conferences and events, actively engaging with industry leaders, accelerators, incubators, investors, and entrepreneurs
• Screen and research relevant entrepreneurs & startups to the fund’s investment hypothesis
• Participate in meetings, introducing the fund and investment opportunities to potential investors
• Manage long-term projects e.g. our founder community (Academy)

Where you would work (Vienna or Remote)

This position is based in Vienna with the opportunity to work partly remote from anywhere in a similar time-zone to Austria.

We believe in the power of diversity

Nearly half of our portfolio companies have diverse founding teams. The majority of our board members and team members are female. Believing in lifelong learning and personal growth, we empower people to make the best of themselves. We want to encourage applicants with diverse backgrounds to apply. We process all applications without regard to gender, nationality, race, color, religion, age, disability status, sexual orientation or marital status.

Compensation

Your compensation will be industry standard for a <100mio VCfund including participation in the fund’s profits (carry pool). For this position, it is not possible to sponsor a working permit or visa. This means you must be allowed to work in Austria (European Union)at the moment of your application. We offer an open-ended contract with a salary depending on your experience.
