Role
Who you are
- Academic Background: Outstanding academic record with a completed Bachelor’s degree and preferably a Master’s degree in any field - from Business and Economics to Engineering or Political Science
- Relevant Work Experience: You’ve already gained practical, high-exposure experience through internships or full-time roles in consulting, venture capital, private equity, investment banking, or fast-paced startup environments. You’ve worked on strategic analyses, transactions, or business building, and are ready to bring those skills into a VC context
- Investment-Ready Mindset: Solid grasp of market dynamics, business models, and financial logic. You're able to assess opportunities with both rigor and intuition
- Analytical Strength: You’re fluent in Excel, frameworks, and logic. You know how to structure problems and communicate insights clearly - whether in memos or decks
- People & Project Skills: You work well across functions, manage multiple deadlines, and bring a collaborative, solution-oriented approach to everything you do
- Venture Curiosity: You bring a demonstrable passion for startups, technology, and innovation - and ideally have taken first steps to engage with the ecosystem (internships, scouting, side projects)
- Language & Location: Fluent in English, with full work authorization in either Germany or the UK. We expect you to be based in either Munich, Berlin or London
- You’re curious, analytical, ambitious - and eager to grow into a future investor
What the job involves
- As an Analyst at Earlybird, you will be an integral part of our investment process, with growing autonomy and influence
- Deal Execution & Due Diligence: Contribute to all stages of the investment lifecycle - from sourcing to decision-making - and lead analytical workstreams during due diligence, especially in financial, market, and competitive assessments
- Research & Thematic Ownership: Start to develop profound expertise in one of our core investment areas (e.g. Enterprise Software, Fintech & Deeptech.), owning thematic research and helping identify future unicorn opportunities
- Stakeholder Engagement: Build and maintain high-trust relationships with founders, domain experts, and co-investors. Your communication and people skills will enable you to gain access and add value in every interaction
- Ecosystem Mapping & Network Building: Actively develop your network across the European startup ecosystem - tracking emerging talent, attending events, and building rapport with founders even before they start companies
- Portfolio Support: Collaborate with our portfolio companies on strategic projects, research requests, or ecosystem introductions
Our take
Earlybird is a venture capital firm with over 20 years of experience in the space. It backs early-stage European technology companies, providing financial support and strategic advice throughout their subsequent growth and development.
As with many VCs nowadays, the firm has stated its commitment to not only pursue financial returns but also contribute to positive change in society and help fight the climate crisis. Its portfolio spans a great number of industries from Real Estate to Quantum Computing, and includes over 150 companies. Most recently, it closed its second healthcare-focused fund which will be deployed in biopharma and medtech companies.
