Role
Who you are
- Do you have a strong interest in the European Start-Up and Venture Capital ecosystem and a solid foundation in finance or accounting?
- Are you eager to explore how AI and modern automation tools are reshaping financial processes - and do you want to be the person who actively drives that change? Please apply to join our Fund Team as an Intern in our Berlin office!
- Currently pursuing a university degree, recently graduated, or between academic programs, with a strong interest in finance, accounting, and business administration
- Curious, open-minded, a team player, and possessing a global mindset
- Strong analytical skills with a fact-driven and pragmatic problem-solving approach
- Genuine interest in AI, automation, and the question of how modern technology can reshape financial workflows - you follow trends, form opinions, and like to experiment
- Excellent attention to detail and strong organizational skills
- Proficiency in Microsoft Excel; experience with financial software, data tools, or AI-assisted productivity tools (e.g. Python basics, Power Automate, or LLM-based tools) is a plus

What the job involves

- You’ll bring a fresh perspective on how we do things. You’ll work alongside experienced finance professionals, get hands-on exposure to portfolio management and early-stage startup valuation, and apply your theoretical finance knowledge in a real fund environment
- At the same time, we want you to actively challenge our existing processes: identify where AI tools, automation, and modern fintech can make our workflows smarter, faster, and more robust
- Joining Earlybird means working in an environment built on trust, curiosity, and ambition. You’ll be encouraged to think independently, take ownership from day one, and challenge ideas in pursuit of better outcomes. We value integrity in how we decide and act, reward merit and initiative, and give people the space to grow, learn, and make a real impact alongside founders shaping Europe’s future

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.
Recently, it closed its largest funding round yet, raising €360M for Fund VIII to focus on AI applications, software infrastructure, foundation models, and DeepTech. Alongside this, the firm has also introduced a new long-term ownership structure and developed its own internal AI platform, EagleEye, to help identify and support promising founders, showing just how ambitious it is to remain at the forefront of Europe's evolving VC landscape.
