The Role

We're looking for a sharp, hungry Finance Intern to join us at a pivotal moment: mid fundraising round, high growth, zero bureaucracy. You'll work side by side with our Head of Finance across two fronts — the fundraising funnel (talking to investors, not fetching coffee) and the FP&A side of the business (budgeting, forecasting, KPI tracking).

If you want to understand how Venture Capital really works from the inside — not from a textbook, but from live deals — this is it. Six months, full-time, full ownership of real deliverables.

Key Responsibilities

• Investor Outreach: Own outbound communication and cold outreach to potential investors.
• Lead Generation: Research and map the global investor landscape to identify the best fit for our mission.
• Pipeline Management: Maintain and update our Investor CRM, tracking interactions and managing follow-ups.
• Fundraising Support: Help build pitch decks, financial models, and Data Room documentation.
• Market Intelligence: Monitor trends in the AI and AdTech investment space to keep our strategy sharp.
• FP&A: Support monthly budgeting and forecasting cycles, tracking actuals vs. plan.
• KPI Reporting: Build and maintain dashboards for core business KPIs (revenue, burn rate, runway, CAC/LTV) for internal and investor reporting.
• Business Analysis: Flag variances and trends to the Head of Finance, with a first cut of the "why" behind the numbers.

What we are looking for

• Education: Final-year student ( Laureando ) or recent graduate in Finance or Economics.
• Mindset: Proactive, resilient, comfortable picking up the phone and doing outbound.
• Analytical Skills: A critical thinker who uses data and logic to get results.
• Language: Excellent English (written and spoken), mandatory for international outreach.
• Tech-Savvy: Proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets (pivot tables, formulas) and LinkedIn/CRM tools; comfort building financial models is a plus.

What you get

• Full-time, hands-on exposure to real VC fundraising — not a shadowing role.
• Direct mentorship from the Head of Finance.
• A fast-moving team where your work ships the same week you do it.
• Participation allowance : €600/month
