Dresden, Sachsen, Deutschland GREEN-DNN Vollzeit

We're launching a startup focused on energy-efficient AI model deployment on telecom infrastructure — bridging AI, sustainability, and 5G/6G networks.

The startup is not yet registered, but pre-seed funding is already secured. The position is equity-only for now (NO SALARY), with co-founder shares granted upon registration.

We are seeking a visionary business co-founder who can build the business side of this deep-tech company — from fundraising to go-to-market strategy, to customer acquisition and partnerships.

If you are based in Germany, passionate about AI, sustainability, and 5G/6G technologies, and thrive in a zero-to-one environment, we'd love to meet you.

Tasks
  • Define a concerete business model for the startup idea.
  • Lead customer discovery, early interviews, define early adopter profiles, and shape product-market fit.
  • Build strategic partnerships with telecom operators, cloud providers, and edge hardware vendors.
  • Lead fundraising efforts — including grants, early-stage investors, and pitch competitions.
  • Develop and execute the go-to-market strategy for telecom and AI infrastructure markets.
  • Participate in programs of incubators, accelerators, and pitch events and represent the company.
  • Collaborate closely with the technical co-founder to align technology with market needs.
  • Lead business operations, legal setup, hiring, and early revenue modeling.
Requirements
  • Time commitment: At least 20 hours per week.
  • Based in Germany, with Niederlassungserlaubnis or German citizenship.
  • Degree (ideally Master's or MBA) in Business Administration, Innovation Management, Engineering Management, or Technical field with strong business experience.
  • Strong interest or background in telecommunication, AI, cloud infrastructure, or deep-tech startups.
  • Strong communication and pitch skills.
  • Fluent in English; German is a strong plus.
  • Bonus: experience in regulatory or public sector programs for AI or telecom.

Experience with:

  • Startup ecosystems, VCs, and grant programs in Germany or EU.
  • B2B sales, especially for enterprise or telco clients.
  • Working in early-stage environments or co-founding roles.
Benefits

Non-paid job at the moment, equity share at the time of founding the company is considered.

  • Co-founder equity in a deep-tech venture
  • Opportunity to shape a global-scale AI infrastructure solution
  • High-impact domain with backing from academic, industrial, and innovation networks
  • Lead business strategy and directly influence roadmap and market positioning
  • Represent the company in public, investor, and customer settings
  • Access to EU innovation grants, startup accelerators, and advisors
