Who are we?

Lehmann Ventures is the specialized partner for venture-capital-backed tech startups (including Y-Combinator alumni, Gitpod, Voize) for securing the German R&D tax allowance (Forschungszulage). We operate at the intersection of government funding and software. Our proprietary software ("Zeitmaker") serves as the infrastructure to unlock millions in funding for the German tech scene. We are currently scaling rapidly from a consulting model to a software-driven process.

What is the project?

"Building the Machine."

Our goal for 2026 is €1M+ cash flow. We won't achieve this by working more hours, but through superior operations. Your project is the heart of this scaling effort: You manage the "throughput" pipeline. You ensure that an initial call with a founder (Input) turns into an approved funding decision (Output) as quickly as possible. You work directly with the founder (Venture Backed Tech Founder).

What are your tasks?

• High-Level Operations: You take ownership of the application process. You check tech concepts for eligibility and structure the data.
• Due Diligence & Analysis: You analyze salary data and R&D projects (Deep Tech, AI, SaaS) and prepare them for audit-proof submission.
• Process Engineering: You identify bottlenecks in our workflow and actively help to automate them using our internal software ("Zeitmaker") or by optimizing processes.
• Client Success: You ensure that no deadline is missed and that documents (timesheets, contracts) are complete and ready for submission.

Requirements and Timeline?

Mindset: You are not looking for a corporate career ("fetching coffee"), but want to work entrepreneurially.

Profile: Studies in Business Administration, Technology Management, Information Systems, or Law.

Start: Immediately (ASAP).

Format: 15-20h / week, remote & flexible (Munich base is a plus).
