This is a part-time position (15-20h/week) designed for experienced students seeking to enhance their legal and entrepreneurial knowledge and gain hands-on experience in the tech startup industry.
We provide a unique opportunity to gain comprehensive skills necessary to thrive as an entrepreneur. You will have the chance to work with a variety of startups at different stages, allowing you to acquire a deep understanding of the startup ecosystem and its dynamics.
In addition to invaluable hands-on experience, we offer a personal development budget of €1,000 per year, empowering you to invest in your professional growth and expand your skillset. Moreover, we provide an allowance for the Deutschlandticket, enabling convenient travel within Germany.
You will have the opportunity to work with at least three key clients: www.travellocal.com, www.l1r1.ai, www.bestfewo.de. These clients represent diverse industries and stages of development within the startup ecosystem.
