Who we are

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 is a Rising Star, a small team where something big is cooking up. (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)
• Remote first: You can work from anywhere, whether it's DACH, the Nordics, or Portugal. It’s not your physical presence that counts but your output. (Patricia Meka)

• Support our Head of Platform building up and managing our Venture Scout community and running marketing activities
• Support the Partners in various operational portfolio support activities
• Work on strategic projects to upgrade and streamline our portfolio support offering
• Deep dive into various research topics for our investment team and present your findings internally
• Support our investor relations team with inquiries and various projects

💡 We value diverse backgrounds and encourage you to apply, even if you didn't follow the traditional career path. We're always looking for individuals who can bring a new perspective to the team. Please tell us why you think you still fit in your CV or cover letter.

Why should you join us?

• You will not input data into spreadsheets or databases but speak to founders, support them hands-on in mini-projects, or build out our own VC brand.
• From day one, you will have full responsibility and autonomy for your tasks and the freedom to test new things.
• Our work style is more 21st-century than 20th-century, as we are a younger, mostly techie, data-driven team.
• You can work remotely wherever you are but benefit from our offices in Munich and Karlsruhe and our quarterly off-sites in Europe.
• We believe in continuous learning and provide opportunities for professional growth and development. We’re open to training and upskilling initiatives and will leverage our network to help you with your next step.
• Once you join First Momentum, you will be part of our family beyond your time with us (team retreats, dinner parties, etc.).
• You contribute to building one of Europe's best pre-seed VCs with strong technical DNA.
