byFounders is a community-powered venture fund investing in the next generation of founders. We nurture a tight-knit community of founders and operators to drive growth and impactful success.
We’re looking for engaged and curious people to join our internship program. During the 3-6 month internship, you’ll be an immersed member of the investment team. ⭐️
This program is ideal for you if you’re in your final year of studies or if you recently graduated with a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in any discipline; some of our current team members have studied philosophy, engineering, sociology, political science, and more.
By joining the team, you’ll have an opportunity to connect with and learn from our 40+ portfolio companies - spanned across the Nordics and Baltics - as well as byFounders Collective members: a hands-on group of some of the most accomplished founders and operators in the region. The Collective members are deeply engaged in our work and assist in everything from sourcing deals to supporting our portfolio companies and acting as ambassadors for byFounders.
Note that you should ideally be based in Copenhagen (DK) but there’s an option for it to be remote. The internship is paid.
We'll interview on a rolling basis so apply early to not miss out!
