Why Venture Capital might be your dream job?

Venture Capital, especially at the early stages, is not just about financial Excel sheets, not at all. It's a realm where your scientific background meets the world of startups and innovation. It's mainly about:

1. Interacting with Fascinating People: Every day, you'll meet and assist entrepreneurs, each with a unique story and vision. Your role will be pivotal in shaping their journey. VC is (also) people business.
2. Diverse Research Opportunities: Delve into a wide array of technologies. From groundbreaking deep tech innovations to AI applications, you’ll explore and understand different sectors. Your STEM/MINT background equips you with a unique lens to view these challenges.
3. Understanding Market Dynamics: Analyze market trends and understand future needs. Your insights will help identify the next big thing in technology, your work can make a real impact on how we live and work. Your analytical skills, combined with a passion for understanding how the (business) world works, make you an ideal fit for this dynamic field.

• A background in STEM and a lot of curiosity. Physics and Computer Science Degrees are what would fit best.
• You need to be fluent in German and English - both is very important!
• You're based in Stuttgart OR in Baden-Württemberg OR you're willing to move here OR you really enjoy taking the Deutsche Bahn frequently ;)
• You need to be looking for a job in Q1 / Q2 2025. Feel free to already send us your CV. Just keep in mind that we will take a lot of time finding the perfect colleague and don't have a strict timeline and process ... you might have to wait for a couple of weeks until we get back to you.

• We hope the Benefits are quite clear by now. But a few more words about us: Mätch VC is a network-oriented VC firm based in Stuttgart. We invest in technology-based startups in the fields of industrial deep tech, sustainability and enterprise software with ticket sizes of up to €1 million in the (pre)seed phase.
• With a network of 60 entrepreneurs, family owned SMEs aka "Mittelstand" and investment professionals, we identify and support the next generation of founders in Europe. To name a few of our Limited Partners: Trumpf, Ritter Sport, Vector Informatik, ...
• Through our close connection to the NXTGN innovation platform, we are expanding our network to include universities, institutions and other family businesses.
• We already co-invested with some of our favorite funds in some of the worlds most promising startups like Black Forest Labs (Co-Investors: e.g. a16z and General Catalyst), Assemblio (Co-Investor: LEA Partners) or Metergrid (Co-Investor: 468 Capital).
• Take a look at our LinkedIN Profile, where you will also find our press release from summer 2023.

The image of venture capital some people have in mind couldn’t be further from the truth. This field is not about boasting and more about pursuit of knowledge and understanding. The venture capital world, especially at the early stages, is inherently humbling. It calls for a profound understanding of personal biases and an unceasing appetite for learning. Here, success doesn't come from confidence, but from the skill to predict and manage the unknown.

If you also think this could be a fun job, let's chat.

We look forward hearing from you!

Best,

Adrian, Tim & Daniel
