Founder in Residence Intern

The New Ventures team is Qogita's internal venture-building engine - researching, testing, and building the company's next major business opportunity across new geographies, product categories, and software verticals.

As a Founder in Residence Intern, your mission is to support the Founders in Residence in exploring and validating new business opportunities, gaining hands-on exposure to the full journey of early-stage venture building inside a fast-moving company.

• Market research: Support market mapping exercises by performing structured data analysis to identify where real demand exists across geographies and product categories
• Customer discovery: Assist in user discovery interviews, building towards running them independently as your confidence and context grows
• Internal tooling: Help build and maintain internal tools that sustain operations across active new ventures
• Operational execution: Contribute directly to live ventures as the primary operational executor - stepping in as a sales rep, procurement specialist, or whatever the venture needs at that moment
• Cross-venture support: Coordinate with Founders in Residence to keep multiple workstreams moving, flagging blockers and preparing materials as needed
• What you'll bring
  • Background in STEM, Finance, Economics, Law & Politics, or a related analytical field.
  • Commercially curious with an interest in understanding customers, markets, and how businesses grow.
  • Proactive problem solver who enjoys figuring things out in ambiguous environments.
  • Able to structure problems, organise information, and work independently while knowing when to ask for support.
  • Strong ownership mindset and willingness to take initiative.
  • Experience at an earliest-stage startup (sub-20 people) is a strong advantage.
  • Examples of taking initiative and driving projects forward, whether through studies, work, extracurricular activities, or personal projects.
  • Available to join July or August 2026.
• Paid internship: €900 per month
• 26 days annual leave (pro-rated for the duration of the internship)
• Travel reimbursement covered
• Learning & development budget
• Dog-friendly offices
• Office socials and annual company-wide offsite
• MacBook and AirPods provided (AirPods are yours to keep at the end of the internship!)
