[Hiring] Founders Associate Intern @10x Value Partners GmbH

Role Description

You work directly with the founder on launching new companies and driving the workstreams that decide whether our existing ones succeed. This is a role for someone who intends to be a founder and would rather learn it across working with several companies at once.

• New ventures: Take ideas from our incubation pipeline to a validated concept: research, financial model, first customer conversations, positioning, setup.
• Portfolio workstreams: Own delegated projects inside our incubations: Go-to-market, operations, finance, hiring, etc.
• Deal work: Financial models, data room analysis, pressure-testing the thesis, investment memos and LP reporting.
• AI-native operations: Build and run the agents and automations the firm operates on. If a process costs an hour of human time twice, it gets automated.
• Research into decisions: We ask for a recommendation with the reasoning attached, not a summary.

Qualifications

• AI-native: You use frontier models daily and know the tooling (Claude Code, agentic workflows, MCP, automation platforms, rapid prototyping) well enough to show us what you have built with it.
• Strong academic record from a globally recognised university.
• Previous work experience in banking, consulting, start-ups and/or investing.
• A proactive work attitude and strong work ethic and original thinking.
• Independent and fast: vague brief in, finished work out, without supervision.
• Excellent written and spoken English. German or another European language is an advantage.
• Available full time within four to six weeks, for three to six months.

Benefits

• Work directly with the founder, no layers, across an investment firm and several operating companies.
• See the whole machine: how deals get sourced and structured, how a company goes from idea to incorporation, and what breaks in year one.
• Remote-first, flexible, flat. We judge output.
• Afterwards: a full-time role, or joining one of our portfolio companies in a key role.
