Riverside Acceleration Capital is part of a $13B+ international investment firm. We invest independently across North America and Europe. Our growing team is split between New York, San Francisco, and Cologne. We collaborate closely and come together daily. And we are just getting started!

• Create and foster your professional network in the European tech ecosystem
• Meet software entrepreneurs from across Europe
• Work directly with all team members, from Associate to Partner
• Get daily exposure to an international investment team, spanning USA and Europe

We are looking for a friendly, outgoing character with an analytical mindset :

Fluent in English (German is a plus)

Bachelor’s degree or higher – ideally, in a quantitative subject

Previous internship(s) in PE / VC, M&A, or consulting (startup experience is a plus)

You should not be afraid of diving deep into the economics of a company, working more with Excel and less with PowerPoint

We are flexible around designing the internship to create the best outcome for all of us :

When : January / Q1 2026

Where : In the beginning, a typical work week should be split 60% at the Cologne office and 40% remote to become a true part of the team; after one or two months, a more remote set-up is possible

Duration : 3+ months – the longer you stay with us, the more independent will be your work and the more enriched your experience
