Visiting Founders Associate - Excel Power User

1.000 € to 2.500 € / month

We (Jan, Fernando & Claire) are building kontext21 as the Berlin tech startup we always wanted: fast moving, best idea wins, bold & fearless, massive learning environment, challenging.

kontext21 is building the infrastructure for contextual intelligence. Our SDK lets developers access what users see and do — enabling deeply personalized, AI-powered software. Now we’re building our own apps on top of it to show what’s possible.

Our bold vision is backed by some great Investors: Antler, VR Ventures and Angels.

Tasks

  • Work directly with the founders on validating our first product for Excel power users
  • Build and test AI-powered features that supercharge Excel — turning spreadsheets into intelligent assistants
  • Become the “voice of the spreadsheet user” in product and design conversations
  • Research real-world use cases and help shape product features from the ground up
  • Be part of early outreach: talk to users, design experiments, analyze workflows
  • Launch your own side-project or automation, codenamed “Excel”, powered by our SDK — a “startup within”
  • Bonus: use your Excel skills to hack internal ops, tracking, and dashboards

Requirements

  • You have used Excel for 20+ hours per week — professionally or obsessively
  • You can build and debug complex formulas or have built complex financial models or other analytical models before
  • Bonus: experience with Power Query, VBA, or Google Sheets scripting
  • Passion for tech startups and excitement to be at the earliest stage
  • Sharp analytical thinking and a relentless drive to make things better
  • You love to ship, test, learn, and iterate — not sit on ideas

Why you shouldn't join:

  1. You are not comfortable working without a clear structure.
  2. You have >3 years of experience and look for that to be reflected in the pay. Our budget can not support that.
  3. You are not ready for a career opportunity with risks. Despite our growth, we are still an early-stage startup. If you need something more predictable, this is not the right fit.

Benefits

  • Flexible working hours
  • Sport membership
  • Learn from us. Check out our profiles, we are experienced founders and happy to teach.

Come as you are, let's build together.
