Founders Associate (m/f/d)

Executive Summary

P3A is a multi-platform operating and investment group building the infrastructure of tomorrow. Entrepreneurial at its core, P3A builds, owns, and backs the companies behind the assets the modern world depends on, bringing long-term capital and deep operational expertise to how critical infrastructure is built, operated, and financed. P3A was founded by serial entrepreneur Jannes Fischer in 2023.

Your Role

As a Founders Associate (m/f/d), you’ll work as a strategic sparring partner to Jannes and the founding team, driving forward the expansion of the P3A group.

If you have an entrepreneurial mindset, want to work independently, and enjoy finance and legal matters just as much as day-to-day operational business, then this is an exciting opportunity for your next career step.

Tasks

Your Tasks

The platform on which you will be working can be divided into (4) areas: Wealth Management, Company Building, Sparring & Consulting, and VC Fund Management.

• Wealth Management: You will develop investment strategies across various asset classes and implement them consistently, including identifying investment opportunities, purchase and financial modelling, and structuring transactions in accordance with legal and tax requirements.
• Company Building: You will develop and validate new business models in close collaboration with Jannes and the founding team, with the stated aim of using them to set up new companies (including establishing the legal and corporate structures, cap tables, fundraising and, where applicable, the operational management of the business).
• Sparring & Consulting: You will advise Jannes and the founding team on all other matters relating to the expansion of the P3A platform and will continuously implement this agenda. Your responsibilities will include liaising with tax advisers, solicitors, investors and other service providers – you will be the one holding everything together internally.
• VC Fund Management: You will manage P3A Ventures, a pre-seed and seed venture capital fund, including all aspects of the role: building networks of investors and founders, carrying out fundraising and investment processes, and liaising with LPs and stakeholders.

• Entrepreneurial Ownership: You are entrepreneurial at heart, treating every venture as if it were your own and taking responsibility for moving it from ambiguity to a successful outcome.
• Analytical & Independent: You can find structure in chaos, get things off the ground, and enjoy working independently and taking ownership.
