Description

We’re looking for an MBA intern with an interest in entrepreneurship and venture capital to work with our intelligence team over the summer. If the thought of spending your time researching Europe's leading startups, investors and innovators excites you, please get in touch.
This role would suit anyone with experience conducting diligence on startups, market mapping, sector trend analysis, at a venture capital fund, consultancy, research provider or similar.

Area of Responsibilities

Business, Operations & Strategy

Responsibilities

Regularly mapping different sub-sectors in the European startup ecosystem including:
Market trends, competitive landscape, recent investment, key figures, future outlook
Developing workflows to capture the insight gained during Sifted’s journalistic work
Creating and writing sub-sector intelligence briefs (think sell side research but 2 instead of 100 pages), including:
Market maps, informative charts, explanatory paragraphs, startup names to watch lists, conduct market research including contacting companies / funds
Building out the internal Sifted startup database

Requirements

Interest in tech and startups and an understanding of how technology is transforming society and business
Previous experience conducting research on startups
Knowledge of Venture Capital as an asset class and the dynamics that drive deals
Comfort with uncertainty and the ability to change tack without experiencing discomfort (projects can arise/change focus at the last minute)
Willingness to build a business and define a role, this isn’t a plug and play position since it hasn’t been done before!
Flexibility, as Sifted is a young business, a willingness to get involved in all aspects of the business as needed is key
Whilst this role requires the ability to write clear, concise and informative briefings, it is not a journalistic role.

Masters
