Intern Founders Associate Fintech Startup

Vor 5 Tagen

Berlin, Berlin, Deutschland finperks GmbH Vollzeit

We co-founded and led Viafintech (Barzahlen) to 100+ employees - one of Germany's most successful fintechs, active in 17 markets across the EU and US, and sold in 2021 to the NYSE-listed Paysafe Group.

Now we're building our next venture: finperks — a global platform for all prepaid products: gift cards (Apple, Amazon, Google), airtime, and eCash — all via one simple API.

Think of finperks as the "Stripe for Prepaid." We started in summer 2025 and have already onboarded 700+ brands. The first client goes live by the end of the year.

The prepaid market is massive — €600bn today, growing to €1.8tn by 2028.

We're a team of eight based in Berlin-Charlottenburg - a mix of experienced founders and talented new joiners.

High ownership, low ego, kind people. We move fast, support each other, and celebrate wins together.
