Vorwerk Ventures is an independent venture capital backing early-stage startups that drive positive impact for people and planet. With over €400m under management, we focus on promising early-stage opportunities across Europe within our clearly defined focus areas: Consumer, Food, Health, and Climate.
Previous investments include HelloFresh, a leading meal kit delivery service, Flaschenpost, an on demand platform for beverage delivery and other companies that make people’s lives easier, more empowered, healthier or somehow more beautiful.
We are now looking for a curious, driven and hands-on intern to join our Berlin-based investment team to get involved across all investment activities.
If you are as passionate as we are about the consumer space, we would love to hear from you!
