Startup Scout & Dealflow Manager Impact Accelerator (m/w/d) Teilzeit

The Founders Bay Impact Accelerator is a needs-oriented, six-month program for startups outside of major cities. As pioneers in supporting startups in rural areas, we get involved early on – ideal for teams that already have more than just a concept or prototype.

Our approach combines the advantages of rural areas with deep impact knowledge and top-notch startup support: individual support, targeted masterclasses, impact learnings, weekly meetings, and collaborative work across Germany, remote-first.
