Student Assistant (Werkstudent) in Venture Capital (m/f/d) based in Leipzig

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.
