Founder's Associate
Intern
Munich, Germany
Posted on Nov 9, 2026
Painting businesses lose their evenings to office work: quotes, invoices, planning, staff management and customer emails. KAI, our AI office assistant, takes this work off their desk, and our pilot businesses use it every day. As Founder's Associate you work directly with our founders and support wherever it matters most. Your focus is go-to-market: sales, customer success and marketing, and the systems behind them. Beyond that, no two weeks look the same.
What you’ll do
- Go-to-market: find and qualify leads, run demos, onboard new customers and create content for our channels.
- GTM engineering: build and improve pipelines, CRM workflows and automations, and measure what works.
- Partnerships: prepare meetings, trade fairs and events with guilds, chambers and manufacturers.
- Founder support: take on daily tasks and projects across sales, product and operations, wherever you are needed.
What you bring
- You are a student, business, tech or anything in between, looking for a mandatory internship of 4 to 6 months or a voluntary internship of 3 months.
- Drive: you want to work a lot, learn fast and you have a real passion for startups.
- Full ownership: you take things on and see them through without being asked twice.
- A fast, structured way of working. You use AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini every day.
- Fluent German and good English. You will speak with trades businesses every day.
Why KalkulAI
- A paid internship.
- Radical ownership from day one, side by side with the founders.
- A live product with real pilot customers, not a lab hypothesis.
- AI-native: Claude, Codex, GPT and Gemini are part of how we work every day.
- Work in Munich, much of it from a coworking space alongside other startups.
- Backed by EXIST, TU Munich and UnternehmerTUM.
