Internship

3VC is a European venture capital fund that invests in carefully selected startups with global ambition once they have achieved product-market fit, typically at the series A stage. Our team is composed of former founders and operators who are driven by curiosity but grounded in discipline. We focus on quality over quantity and partner with only a handful of exceptional companies per year.  

We offer a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of Venture Capital through a 6-month off-cycle engagement. During this time, you’ll work closely with our senior investment team, gaining hands-on exposure to sourcing, evaluating, and supporting startups across Europe. This experience is designed to give you a foundation for a future career in Venture Capital, launching your own startup, or joining an early-stage company. There may be an opportunity to continue with us beyond the initial six months—either by staying in Vienna or relocating to one of the other hubs where 3VC is active.
