This internship is not for the faint-hearted. It’s for top 1% executors ready to work directly alongside the founding team—where every hour and every task matters.

TL;DR – Why You Might Want This

  • You’ll work side-by-side with the founder on company-critical ops, deals, labs, and product.
  • You’ll be thrown in the deep end on Day 1—no hand-holding, no strategy decks, just real business execution.
  • You’ll be given insane ownership, crazy pace, and projects that impact elite clients and company trajectory.
  • You’ll work long hours, and you'll love it because you're wired to win.
  • If you're just looking for “exposure” or “strategy experience,” this role is not for you.

Your Responsibilities

  • Drive operational projects end-to-end—from chaos to delivery
  • Solve real commercial and logistical problems under tight time pressure
  • Support and sometimes lead initiatives in sales, fundraising, supplier coordination, lab operations, or hiring
  • Prepare key materials (dashboards, financial models, decks, client deliverables) at founder quality
  • Identify bottlenecks and fix them without waiting to be told
  • Be the founder's right hand—keeping momentum when others slow down
  • Work across time zones, late hours, urgent tasks—if the job needs doing, you do it

You

  • Top tier business school/university, studying business, PPE, computer science or startup operator with comparable firepower
  • Previous internships or experience at high-growth startups, top-tier consultancies, or VC-backed ventures
  • Obsessive attention to detail, ultra-high work rate, and a bias toward doing
  • Thrive under pressure, ambiguity, and brutal deadlines
  • Not scared to open Figma, fix a contract, cold-email 200 leads, or take a train to chase down a supplier
  • You don’t wait for instructions—you move
  • Fluent in German is mandatory
  • Availability: full-time internship for at least 5 months
