Kontext21

1-10

Co-Founder

Germany

We (Jan, Fernando) are building kontext21 an AI startup focused on harnessing professionals work context.  

Our first product is X21 an Excel AI add-in focus on financial modelling for PE, M&A and investment banks.  

We are 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.
