Entrepreneur in Residence (f/m) wanted for Digital Venture

The program with a duration of three months is ideally a pre-founding program. It aims at co-founding a business with Rheingau Founders either in a Junior or Senior Co-Founder role. Within these three months you will deep dive into researching markets/industries and work side-by-side with the members of the Rheingau Team to successfully conceptualize the business and financial model. Thereby, we are open to talk with founding teams at an early stage, about different business ideas or with individuals looking for a Co-Founder.

WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT
We’re not just another incubator. Here’s why building your company with us is something special.

FOUNDERS RUN THE SHOW
It’s your startup, and you stay in control. Rheingau Founders only takes a minority share, so you get to run your business with our input. We always advocate for very founder-friendly terms in all our agreements.

COURAGE MEETS CREATIVITY
We believe entrepreneurship means true innovation, not just copying what other people are doing. We want to co-found new and as yet unproven ideas – and then prove them together

360° SUPPORT
At our Rheingau Campus in Berlin, our partners are sitting right there with you, ready to give you guidance whenever you need it. You’ll also have 24/7 support at every stage of realizing your company’s vision.

FOLLOW ON FUNDING
We provide an initial investment of €250k, and once you’re ready we’ll help you secure additional funding. The Rheingau Club will then match this, up to €2.5mn.

WHO WE WORK WITH
The companies we’ve co-founded so far are mostly B2B-focused digital business models, but we’re open to anything new and exciting, whether you have a team or not. With our Entrepreneur-in-Residence program, we’ll help you to find the right business model to co-found. Even though we always have some good ideas in our pocket, we won’t push you to execute a business you’re not happy with.
