Job description
3VC is a European venture capital fund that invests in carefully selected startups with global ambition once they have achieved product-market fit. 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. We are looking for a specific breed of talent: someone who sits at the intersection of a business-minded developer and a venture analyst. If you’re the person your friends ask about which LLM agents to use, or if you’ve spent your weekend fine-tuning a model just to see if it could automate a tedious task, we want to talk to you. 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.
Your Responsibilities
As a Visiting Analyst, you will be a part of our investment team and your time will be split between traditional VC sourcing and acting
as our AI scout. We expect you to:
- Use your technical edge to identify signals in the noise. You’ll perform thesis-driven research and monitor data-driven dealflow to find
- founders before they hit the radar of other funds.
- Spend a significant portion of your time staying at the bleeding edge. You will test new AI solutions, evaluate technical moats of
- potential investments, and implement internal tools that help 3VC scale and/or grow stronger.
- Be embedded in the senior investment team and work on a variety of tasks ranging from market mapping and competitive analysis to supporting the entire due diligence process.
Why Join Us?
- You will be joining a team working together in an open and straightforward culture with flat hierarchies.
- You will have the opportunity to grow and develop in your role, interacting with stellar founding teams and working alongside the 3VC investment team.
- This is a launchpad. Whether you stay with us, start your own company, or join a portfolio star, these 6 months will define your trajectory.
- You will be based in Vienna – the most livable city in the world – and will interact with startup founders and teams and top investors across the EU, the UK, and the US. You will work from a beautiful office in the 1st district in Vienna with the option of home-office/remote work.
- You will receive a remuneration package starting at € 40.000 gross annually (on a full-time, all-in basis).
What Are We Looking For?
- You have a proven passion for software and technology, i.e., you’ve likely launched an OpenClaw instance, messed around with LangChain, or built your own scrapers just for fun.
- You are expected to have opinionated views on major trends as well as on individual opportunities. You don’t just follow trends; you have a thesis on why they matter (or why they’re hype).
- You are a driven self-starter, and you are comfortable in dealing with a high-paced environment while remaining optimistic.
- You are an EU citizen and/or have a work permit for Austria.
- You hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in a scientific or business-related field.
- Ideally, you have done an internship in tech and have 2 years of full-time work experience.
