Entrepreneur in Residence Intern

Mission Most internships put you next to a function. This one puts you next to a bet.

You will work with our founders as an Entrepreneur in Residence: pick a 0-to-1 opportunity, pressure-test it, and either make it real or kill it with evidence. That might be a new vertical, a new go-to-market motion, a new product surface, or a wedge into a market we have not owned yet. You will not be assigned a ticket queue. You will be handed ambiguity and expected to turn it into a decision.

This is a founder apprenticeship. You sit in the rooms where strategy gets made, you talk to customers and operators, you use AI to move faster than a typical intern ever could, and you own the outcome. If a task can be automated, we automate it. What is left is judgment.

The best version of this internship ends with you joining us full-time in a role you helped create, or leaving with the operating system to build your own company.

Goals

• Own one 0-to-1 initiative end to end: hypothesis, research, customer conversations, prototype or pilot, recommendation to ship, iterate, or kill
• Talk to customers, prospects, and operators yourself. You will not outsource the learning
• Build decision-ready memos: one page, a clear recommendation, the evidence behind it
• Use AI agents (including our own platform) to research markets, synthesize calls, and ship work in days instead of weeks
• Join founder conversations on product, GTM, and new bets, and turn them into follow-through
• Document what you tried so the company keeps the learning even if the bet dies

Your profile

• You have already built something that did not exist before: a company, a product, a student venture, a community, a side project people actually used. Show us
• Outstanding academic record in business, economics, engineering, or a comparable field, currently enrolled or recently graduated
• You are AI native: LLMs are already part of how you research, write, and build every day
• High agency under ambiguity: you make progress without a playbook, then write the playbook
• Structured thinking and sharp writing: you can compress a messy problem into one clear page
• Fluent German and English (you will talk to DACH customers and European operators)

Nice to have

• First experience in a startup, VC, consulting, or your own company
• Exposure to B2B SaaS: how software is sold, priced, and adopted
• Comfort with lightweight building: landing pages, automations, prototypes, analyses

Why us

• Paid internship with a competitive monthly salary
• Direct working relationship with the founders, daily, not quarterly
• Real ownership of a 0-to-1 bet, not a shadowing program
• The full AI toolkit: we pay for the best AI tools available, and you will use them all day
• Top-of-line equipment
• Team face time in Munich and a front-row seat at an AI company defining a new category
• A strong pipeline to a full-time role: interns who ship stay

About Us Demodesk is the AI that does the job, not the AI that tells you what to do. For ten years, sales AI has handed dashboards to overwhelmed reps and called it transformation. We built something different: AI agents that join every sales conversation, update the CRM, send the follow-ups, coach reps after every call, and flag deals at risk before they slip.

Founded in Munich in 2018 and backed by $15M from Balderton, Y Combinator, and the founders of HubSpot and Pipedrive, we serve 300+ customers and 20,000+ sales professionals across Europe, including Porsche, Bosch, Treatwell, OMR, and Enpal. GDPR-native, ISO 27001 certified, EU-only data. We are still small enough that everyone's fingerprints are on the product.
