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 hrs / week.

Smart Infrastructure Ventures (‚SIVentures‘) is a young private venture capital fund which is based in Leipzig’s city centre where we are focussing on venture capital investments in early-stage software startups. We invest from € 200k in B2B companies within Energy, IT infrastructure, AI apllications, proptech, mobility, ehealth 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.

Aufgaben

• Attend pitch events & conferences to identify promising startups
• Speak to founders about their startups, traction & fundraising
• Review & evaluate those startups
• Maintain startup databases

Qualifikation

• Based in Leipzig (please don’t apply if you are not based in Leipzig)
• More than 1 year until your graduation (preferably Master)
• Hands‑on-mentality!
• Reliable self‑starter
• High level of commitment & motivation
• Fluency 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)

Benefits

• A fun working environment with a steep learning curve in Leipzig’s city centre
• 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
