Jobbeschreibung

First Momentum is a Pre-Seed investor for Deep Tech & B2B Tech founders in Europe. We have made over 40 investments, from Quantum Computing to In-space Propulsion, with many startups raising follow‑on rounds from international top VCs. As most of us are engineers at heart and investors by choice, we support founders hands‑on in the areas that make a difference.

What our previous interns say

• First Momentum offers a unique experience because you will get a much deeper knowledge of technology due to the focus on Deep Tech and the team of mostly engineers and scientists. (Nikolaus von Bary)
• You can source exciting opportunities, make independent calls, and drive research on your own terms. You rarely find this level of independence at larger firms. (Jerome Jaggi)
• There exists no "elbow mentality" at First Momentum. It’s a place with a friendly spirit where people can grow together. (Patricia Meka)

Responsibilities

• Support the investment team by sourcing promising pre‑seed start‑ups through various channels.
• Lead initial screening calls with startup founders independently.
• Take care of incoming start‑up applications and establish communication with the most important internal and external stakeholders.
• Accompany exciting start‑ups through the entire investment process: from sourcing through the due diligence process to the completed investment.
• Take part and get first‑hand insights into our Investment Committee meetings.
• Create deep dives into various topics and present your findings to the team.
• Support our investor relations team with inquiries and various projects.
• Assist the Partners in various portfolio support activities.

Requirements

• Strong academical background in economics, technology or a related field and have gained practical experience in a fast‑paced environment, ideally in the startup industry.
• Exceptional analytical skills, are highly motivated, and consistently deliver above average performance.
• Comfortable working independently and thrive on tackling ambitious projects.
• Curious, convincing, and reflective, while enjoying communicating with startup founders and team members alike.
• Passionate about the startup industry and venture capital.
• Full working proficiency in German and English is required.

Benefits

• Become a full member of our investment team and get full responsibility for all your projects.
• Getting a comprehensive and transparent insight into the processes of a VC fund.
• We have offices in Munich and Karlsruhe but work remotely as we have team members all over Germany. To balance out the remote culture with some quality social time, the whole team meets up once a quarter somewhere in Europe, and we spend a few days working and having fun together.
• Once part of First Momentum, you are part of our family (team retreats, dinner parties, etc.), even beyond your time with us.
• We believe in continuous learning and provide opportunities for professional growth and development. We offer access to mentorship, training and resources to help you get started in the venture world.

Our Unique Daily Work Experiences

• We are a team of friends working together day in and day out towards the vision of First Momentum.
• We guarantee you an extremely steep learning curve, as you’ll be immersed in new industries and technologies on a weekly basis.
• At First Momentum, you will learn how to analyse young tech companies and interact with the most brilliant minds in the start‑up scene on a regular basis.
• When we make investments together, you’ll be excited to tell your friends why this company will transform an industry and how the founders won you over with their energy and smartness.
• When portfolio companies raise their follow‑on funding rounds, you’ll know you helped enable the team to push their vision further.

Please only apply if you are available from March/April 2026 for 3 months.
