General Partner - Early-Stage Startups / Company Building Fund (f/m/d)

  • Full-time

Company Description

We are Stryber - the largest independent corporate portfolio builder in the DACH region. We help our clients launch new digital ventures from scratch (and fix the strategy behind it) as well as build our own ventures.

While we grew to more than 90 Stryborgs, we have launched more than a dozen corporate startups in verticals such as FinTech, Digital Health and Food & Beverage.

Through our corporate investors / partners our startups can leverage the traditional ecosystem and scale of their sector.

Through company building as core asset class in our fund, we can achieve a higher IRR compared to traditional funds focusing on direct investments.

Job Description

At Stryber you can expect a no bullshit, down to earth, yet high caliber work environment. You will be part of the Stryber family - a dynamic team that is highly motivated to create impact. You will start as Associate Partner to establish the fund with the clear intent to become General Partner in this fund. In your role:

  • You create a compelling and visionary investment thesis as well as a solid investment/portfolio strategy for our yet-to-be-established fund in an underdeveloped market (e.g. Real Estate or Health)

  • You track and manage our growing portfolio value and ensure sufficient fund liquidity
  • Working with corporate clients requires you to be a rebel, but also adhere to some corporate rules, e.g. regular pitches for funding in the board, working with CxOs of the client organisation to create synergies, etc.
  • You have the freedom to act and no politics
