About this role

About First Momentum Ventures

We're engineers at heart and investors by choice. That's why, what started in 2019 as a campus spin-off, we've grown into one of Europe's leading pre-seed funds, backing 50+ deeply technical startups reshaping industries from new industrials to novel computing.

With our €35M+ second fund in full swing and Fund III on the horizon, we're hiring a Visiting Associate to join our investment team and contribute to deal flow, technical evaluation, and portfolio projects.

Our aim is to be the #1 destination for deeply technical founders in Europe. We believe great teams create the future, and we're here to back them early and support them deeply. We aren't just capital providers; we invest in incredible individuals and view EQ as our greatest competitive advantage over traditional funds. The same applies to our own team: we win as a team (not individuals), believe in high agency & independence, and have every team member participate directly in the fund's economic upside.

The Role

As a Visiting Associate, you'll be a full member of our investment team with real ownership from day one and direct exposure to how the venture capital world truly operates.

This role is designed for people with 1–3 years of professional experience who want to break into the venture ecosystem and accelerate their career. It's the perfect launchpad for ambitious talent aiming to become a Chief of Staff at a leading European startup, land a full-time VC role, or start their own company down the road.

Whether you're coming from consulting, a fast-growing startup, or hold a master's degree with several internships in the startup ecosystem, we're looking for Europe's most driven young professionals to join us in building the leading pre-seed tech-focused venture fund in Europe.

Tasks

Find the most promising tech founders in Europe: Take the lead in sourcing high-potential pre-seed startups, running first calls independently, and developing your own conviction about which founders and ideas are truly exciting.
Gain full exposure to the investment process: Work side-by-side with our investment team through the entire deal flow, from first contact and due diligence to investment committee and closing. You'll play a key role in evaluating opportunities and shaping investment decisions.
Lead deep-dive research: Explore emerging technologies and market trends every week. Conduct sharp, data-driven analysis and present insights that influence our investment theses and strategic direction.
Drive impact in portfolio projects: Support our portfolio founders hands-on, from building their go-to-market motion to automating workflows with AI and optimizing operations.

Requirements

You have 1-3 years of work experience in the startup ecosystem, consulting, or a technical role.
You bring strong analytical capabilities and can move from technical papers to business models to founder conversations with ease.
You work with extreme ownership and high agency, spotting opportunities, designing a plan, and executing without waiting for permission.
You're genuinely curious about deeply technical domains. Whether you have an engineering background or just love learning how breakthrough technologies work, you're energized by technical depth.
You communicate clearly and convincingly in both German and English, whether you're pitching a deal to partners or giving feedback to founders.

Benefits

Real ownership, not busy work: You'll make independent calls on deals, lead founder conversations, support DD processes end-to-end, and help drive critical projects for our portfolio companies.
Technical depth you won't find elsewhere: Most of our team are engineers and scientists, which lets you develop a genuine understanding of breakthrough technologies, not just assessment skills.
Exceptional colleagues who challenge you: Work alongside a team that values rigorous debate, mutual support, and winning together. You'll become part of the First Momentum family, even beyond your time with us.
Full venture stack visibility: See everything from AI-powered sourcing to automated portfolio support. Gain the whole picture of how a leading European Deep Tech fund operates.
Full flexibility with a remote-first culture balanced by regular in-person gatherings across Europe.
Competitive pay: The compensation package will be adjusted to your professional experience and will be well above an internship salary.
The perfect launchpad for your next move: Whether you're heading toward a full-time VC role, a Chief of Staff position in our portfolio, or eventually starting your own venture, this position sets you up for what's next.
