VC Analyst Intern

Wind is looking for a Venture Capital Analyst Intern to join our investment team in Paris and help us identify, evaluate, and support the most promising deeptech and climate tech startups in Europe.

You’ll work closely with our team of investors on every step of the process — from sourcing and market research to due diligence and portfolio support. This internship is a unique opportunity to dive deep into the VC world, explore frontier technologies, and play an active role in building a high-impact, high-conviction portfolio.

As of January 2026, while we’re not currently hiring, we’re happy to receive applications and keep them in mind for future openings.

Tasks

As an intern on the investment team, you’ll be involved in every stage of the investment journey. Here’s what your day-to-day might look like:

• Sourcing & Market Research

• Explore specific sectors in depth and map out the competitive landscape

• Review inbound opportunities and help identify the most promising startups

• Attend ecosystem events and grow meaningful relationships with founders and other investors

• Dealflow & Investment Analysis

• Take part in due diligence and support key steps in the evaluation process

• Write clear, insightful investment memos and internal recommendations

• Help the team prepare for discussions and investment committee meetings

• Portfolio Support & Internal Projects

• Assist in monitoring how portfolio companies are doing and support LP reporting

• Contribute to ongoing strategic work—whether that’s building out investment theses, experimenting with AI tools, or supporting ESG initiatives

Requirements

We’re open to candidates from a wide range of academic and professional paths—what matters most to us is how you think, not what you studied.

You might be a great fit if you…

• Feel comfortable working in French (our daily language) and speak fluent English—additional languages are a big plus
• Enjoy breaking down complex topics and have strong analytical and synthesis skills
• Are genuinely curious about deeptech and science-driven innovation
• Work with a high degree of autonomy, precision, and intellectual rigor
• Have experience in fast-paced, demanding environments—like VC, startups, M&A, strategy consulting, engineering, research, product, or data
• Bring coding skills to the table (definitely a bonus!)

We're a team of entrepreneurial thinkers who operate with a high level of trust. Success in this role comes from being proactive, precise, and intellectually curious—with strong communication and interpersonal skills . We encourage you to take initiative, form your own opinions, and stand by them.

Benefits

• A high-trust, entrepreneurial environment where you'll be given real responsibilities
• Exposure to the full investment process and direct collaboration with experienced investors
• A supportive team that values autonomy, curiosity, initiative, and opportunities to shape internal projects and contribute ideas from day one
• Access to a network of founders, researchers, and investors across the European deeptech ecosystem
• Monthly compensation based on profile and experience
• Meal vouchers : €14 per worked day, 50% covered by Wind
• 50% of your public transportation costs covered

CONDITIONS

• Duration : Minimum 6 months
  → Ideally suited for students in the final year of their studies or taking a gap year
