Practicum

Business Intelligence

Mätch VC is a Stuttgart-based venture capital firm that finances well-known startups such as Black Forest Labs, Assemblio, and Blockbrain. Our goal is to build the next generation of global market leaders and promote technological solutions in the fields of industrial deep tech, sustainability, and enterprise software. With investments of up to €1 million in the (pre-)seed phase, we provide founders with the foundation to realize their visions. Over the past 12 months, we have co-invested with 468 Capital, Andreessen Horowitz aka a16z, Mario Götze, General Catalyst, LEA Partners, and many other top investors.

Our success is based on a unique network: 60 hidden champions, family businesses, and experienced investment professionals pool their expertise to optimally support startups in the EU. Examples of investors behind the fund include Ritter Sport, Trumpf, Berner Group, and Vega Grieshaber. Our connection to the innovation platform NXTGN expands our access to science and research, business, and the startup ecosystem.

This internship lasts 5-6 months.

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 aspects 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 conduct in-depth analysis of the companies, and the results will ultimately be presented to our Investment Committee. You’ll be involved throughout.
• Event management, operations, investor reporting, presentation preparation, desk research, CRM, etc. Depending on the month and quarter, you’ll have more or less to do with these.
• Support us with portfolio support and work closely with our founders, giving you insight into several, often very different, startups.
• Interns have already played a decisive role in several of our investments.

Qualifications

• Ideally, you’ll be studying a STEM subject (computer science, business informatics, physics, math, etc.) for your bachelor’s or master’s degree. We’re looking for an analyst with an excellent technical background and a good understanding of deep tech.
• Ideally, you enjoy reading scientific publications on new deep tech trends and are able to quickly gain an understanding of these complex technological fields.
• Ideally, initial experience through other relevant internships in the areas of VC, PE, management consulting or startups.
• Very good knowledge of German and English.
• You are motivated, enjoy working independently and conscientiously, and enjoy implementing challenging projects.
• You’re passionate about the startup and VC industry and incredibly curious.

Benefits

• Challenging and varied activities in a small and dynamic team.
• Boost your network: 60 LPs, around 10 portfolio companies, colleagues at NXTGN.
• Close collaboration with the best founders and entrepreneurs in Germany and beyond.
• A steep learning curve and unique insights into a successful first-generation VC fund.
• You will be a member of our team from day one and will take on a lot of responsibility.
• Flat hierarchies and short decision-making processes.
