  • Lead deep-dive research: Investigate the intersection of biology & deep tech and support the investment team by sourcing promising start-ups that align with our strategy.
  • Gain full exposure to the investment process: Work side-by-side with our investment team through the entire deal flow, from first contact and due diligence to deal closing.

Requirements

  • PhD in biology, biotechnology or a related field.
  • Ideally paired with expertise in computer science or engineering.

Benefits
  • Real ownership, not busy work : You'll make independent decisions and your research will ultimately form our investment thesis in the field of physical & computational biology.
  • Technical depth you won't find elsewhere : Most of our team are engineers and scientists, which lets you develop a genuine understanding of breakthrough technologies, not just assessment skills.
  • Exceptional colleagues who challenge you : Work alongside a team that values rigorous debate, mutual support, and winning together. You'll become part of the First Momentum family, even beyond your time with us.
  • Full flexibility with a remote-first culture balanced by regular in-person gatherings across Europe.
  • Competitive pay: The compensation package will be adjusted to your professional experience and will be well above an internship salary.
  • The perfect launchpad for your next move : Whether you're heading toward a full-time VC role, a Chief of Staff position in our portfolio, or eventually starting your own venture, this position sets you up for what's next.
