Lendorse

1-10

Germany

We are looking for a smart, ambitious, and entrepreneurial all-rounder to join us as a Founders' Associate. This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience, work closely with experienced founders, and play a key role in scaling an early-stage startup. If you are passionate about fintech, education, and making a real impact, we would love to hear from you!  

**About Lendorse:**

Are you thinking about founding your own startup in the future but want to gain hands-on experience first? Lendorse could be the perfect place for you.

**We are an AI Edtech/Fintech startup** with a mission to break down financial barriers for talented students from developing countries. Through **Income Share Agreements (ISAs)** and mentoring, we help students achieve their dreams without the burden of traditional debt. Our proprietary salary prediction model allows us to assess creditworthiness without a credit check, collateral, or co-signer, meaning we can **help those who are often overlooked** by traditional financial institutions.

In September 2023, we closed a funding round with top investors like Evergryn Ventures, Vealo Ventures, and Earlybird. In 2024, we secured a **€10 million credit line** to fund students and are now in the final stages of our oversubscribed **€1.75 million seed round.** We have also built strong partnerships with leading universities such as **HSG, SSE, INSEAD, HEC Paris**, and many more.

## Tasks

**What can you expect as a Founders’ Associate at Lendorse?**

*   You’ll get the chance to take on a variety of tasks – no two days will be the same!
*   Work closely with the **CEO, CCO & COO,** in areas like strategy, business development, marketing, and product.
*   Have direct conversations with our students, partners, and other stakeholders.

## Requirements

Our ideal candidate...

*   ... is either currently enrolled in or has recently completed a Master's degree in Entrepreneurship, Business, Digital Innovation, or a related field. But: **Motivation and energy matter more than a degree** – if this sounds like you, apply and convince us!
*   ... is bold, curious, and mission-driven, with a strong work ethic.
*   ... has excellent communication skills, an entrepreneurial mindset, and common sense.
*   ... is passionate about fintech and/or education and shares our belief that wasted educational potential is one of the greatest tragedies of our time.
*   ... is fluent in both German and English.

## Benefits

**What do we offer?**

*   **Remote working? Workation? Flexible hours?** This role starts off remote, but soon we move into an office in Berlin, where we will have a hybrid model, and you have the chance to directly work alongside the founders!
*   **A fun, hardworking, and energetic team** – you’ll work directly with our CEO (ex-McKinsey), CCO (ex-Investment Banker), and COO and other senior team members.
*   **Fast-paced startup experience** – your work will have a real impact.
*   **A written reference letter** from our CEO upon successful completion of the internship.
*   **A part-time mini-job** (€520 per month).

If you’re ready to dive into the fast-paced world of startups and take on real responsibility, we want to talk to you!
