AI generated summary

  • You must be a top-performing university student, passionate about entrepreneurship, ambitious, curious, a strong communicator, ownership-driven, and a problem solver with a bias for action.
  • You will support operational tasks, assist in due diligence, engage in marketing and recruiting, and collaborate on projects to enhance Antler and its portfolio companies.

Requirements

  • You are a top performing university student who is driven to bring Antler to the next level with full-time availability for at least 4-6 months in Munich.
  • Passionate about entrepreneurship: our #1 principle is Founders first - reflecting that the core of what we do is to help exceptional founders succeed. You have a passion for technology, entrepreneurship and helping people build companies that push technology forward.
  • Ambitious: another core principle at Antler is Uncomfortably ambitious. As the rest of our team, you like to set ambitious goals and work hard to achieve them.
  • Curious: You are curious, like to think outside the box and question the status quo.
  • A good communicator: You have good communication skills and a genuine interest in other people. We’re a global team spread across 17 time zones working at a very fast pace. English is a must, German is a plus.
