Founders Associate Intern (m/f/d)

10x Value Partners is the investment firm and company builder founded by serial entrepreneur and investor Christian Schroeder. We incubate companies from a blank page and invested as angels in around 40 technology startups. Our portfolio spans consumer businesses, FinTech, SaaS, ImapctTech, and longevity.

We also run the firm itself like a product. Deal analysis, portfolio reporting, research, and back-office operations are built on AI agents and automated workflows instead of headcount, which is why a very small team covers an unusually large surface area.

More on how we think:

Job 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.

Key Responsibilities:

• 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 originalthinking.
• 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.

Additional Information

• 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.
• Afterwards: a full-time role, or joining one our portfolio companies in a key role.
