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.

• Attend pitch events & conferences to identify promising startups
• Speak to founders about their startups, traction & fundraising
• Review & evaluate those startups
• Maintain startup databases
• Research projects within venture capital
• General support of our founding team

• 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)

• 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

Looking forward to hear from you!
