Internship Corporate Venture Capital - Brose Ventures - #998703

Work at the intersection of venture capital, deep tech, and industry, with direct exposure to deals, founders, and startup decision-makers.

Brose Ventures is the corporate venture capital arm of Brose SE. We invest in ambitious technology startups shaping the future of mobility, industrial technology, and new business models, spanning from automotive technologies, AI & software, robotics & automation, and industrial deep tech.

As part of our team, you will work hands-on across the investment process, contribute to strategic VC initiatives, and actively help build new formats (including a startup accelerator program). For us, you are not “the working student” — you are a fully integrated member of the VC team.

• Startup Scouting & Deal Sourcing (Focus): Identifying, screening, and analyzing high-potential tech startups (focus on early-stage startups at the seed and Series A stages)
• Investment & Due Diligence Support: Supporting market, competitive, and business model analyses as well as startup evaluations
• Market Intelligence & Trend Analysis: Building and maintaining deep market and technology insights across our investment focus areas (e.g. AI, robotics, mobility, industrial tech)
• Accelerator & Venture Initiatives: Actively contributing to the setup of a new Brose Venture Accelerator Program, which includes investments into startups that participate in the program
• Founder Interaction: Engaging with founding teams and participating in startup events, demo days, and industry conferences
• Venture Operations: Maintaining long-/shortlists, venture databases, and CRM systems (e.g. PitchBook, Crunchbase, Affinity)
