We are looking for YOU to join xdeck as a VENTURES ASSOCIATE INTERN (F/M/D) and help us become THE platform for revolutionary ideas!

xdeck is an early-stage venture platform for B2B tech startups. It combines an equity- and cost-free accelerator with a pre-seed venture capital fund. Over the past 2.5 years, we have established xdeck as one of the leading B2B tech accelerators in Germany (our portfolio includes successful startups like Sastrify, Vytal or heyData), and continue to grow our platform to create real impact for aspiring founders.

Duration of your internship: 4-6 months – starting as soon as you are available!

During your time with us, you will learn all the skills required to found your own company or to join a venture capital fund. You will get the best from both worlds!

As core member of the xdeck team, your responsibilities will include:

• Leading our scouting process: Identify high quality founder teams, get in touch with them and convince them to join xdeck
• Coaching our accelerator startups: Facilitate own sparring sessions, workshops and introductions to our top-notch partners including Cherry Ventures, Deutsche Bank, and McKinsey
• Supporting the xdeck core team: Organize events (e.g., InnovatorsXChange, Female Founders), execute marketing campaigns, and manage VC deal flow

Key requirements include:

• You are ready to take on a lot of responsibility, are well organized and have a “roll-up-your-sleeves” attitude
• You are a team player, not afraid to share your own opinion, and always open for feedback
• You have an analytical background and excellent communication skills
• You have previous practical experience in fast-paced environments (e.g., venture-backed startups, venture capital, consulting)
• You are either in the final year of your bachelor’s or master’s program in any analytical field of studies, or taking a gap year between your bachelor and master studies

What you can expect from your time at xdeck:

• A fast-paced environment: We work in an environment that is constantly evolving. This allows you to create your own unique internship experience
• Entrepreneurial spirit: xdeck is a startup itself. We always strive to try out new things, fail fast, learn from it and start over
• Personal growth: At xdeck, you will learn a lot about how startups work. You will build your own network in the growing German startup ecosystem that will kickstart your future career.

This is a paid internship based in Cologne, Germany, with the option to work partly from home. You need to be business-fluent in German and English.
