Others have joined programs like CDTM (5+ acceptances), moved into top consulting firms, or joined early-stage startups and VCs. The common thread: they all got a real understanding of what it takes to build and scale a company.   OUR BACKGROUND Tacto is building the intelligence layer that connects AI to the physical world of manufacturing, starting with procurement. AI is transforming every industry, but it stops at the factory gate. The knowledge that holds manufacturing together - part costs, suppliers, materials - is scattered across systems and people. Over 50% of a product's cost originates from suppliers, making procurement the single largest cost lever in manufacturing and the missing connection between the digital and the physical world. Yet it still runs on Excel and legacy systems. We're changing that with our Procurement Intelligence Platform, trusted by hundreds of companies running billions of Euros of material. Based in Munich, we are 100+ passionate builders who are in-office, with high expectations, fast growth, and a lot of fun. We are supported by >€50m from Sequoia, Index, and Europe's leading tech entrepreneurs and industry veterans. WHY IT MATTERS Manufacturing forms Europe's economic backbone, driving a fourth of Europe's GDP and providing over 30% of jobs. These hidden champions and global market leaders manufacture the physical world around us, from the machines that build our cities to the medical devices that save lives. But the world is changing. The US dominates the digital world of bits. China is scaling the world of atoms, manufacturing at unprecedented speed and scale. Geopolitics are more uncertain than ever. Europe's strength lies in its deep industrial knowledge through generations of engineering. Manufacturing worldwide runs on European machines and software. But that heritage is only an advantage if we leverage it in the age of AI. Tacto builds the AI that connects Atoms and Bits, empowering our Industrial Base to Stay Stronger and building a lighthouse for European tech. WHAT WE OFFER The people at Tacto are passionate about building the organization, growing themselves, and our product while having fun and being real. We have high expectations, great talent density, and a culture where your ambition, performance, and agency are what count - not where you come from or how big your ego is. You'll grow at the forefront of AI, have real ownership and impact, and be surrounded by the best people in their field who challenge you and make you better every day. That is demanding and rewarding, but that's where we thrive. Besides that you have: * Money: Competitive salary & equity in the company with real upside, so you are invested in our success * Workplace: A vibrant in-office culture (> 4 days/week) in a beautiful office in central Munich * Development: A development budget and regular exposure to exceptional people, e.g., Lunch & Learns, peer mentoring, external speakers * Time off: 26 + 4 vacation days per year (4 fixed “company rest days”) as well as regular off-sites and team events * Health: Wellpass membership, of course, a fruit basket (!), and access to Jobrad, for your health * Family & Social Security: Voluntary pension contribution, voluntary KITA subsidy for your children Tacto is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, or gender identity. Please do not submit personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, data concerning your health, or data concerning your sexual orientation.

OUR MISSION We're on a mission to create 10 million human firewalls! At revel8, we redefine cybersecurity training with hyper-realistic simulations that reflect today's evolving attack landscape. Our innovative platform combines AI-driven multi-channel attacks with gamified, real-time learning to build resilience where it matters most: the people. YOUR MISSION As a Founder's Associate Intern, you are part of our Business Operations team, working closely with our Founders and our Chief of Staff. This is not a theoretical strategy role where you polish slide decks or debate long-term vision. It's a hands-on execution role where you turn strategic decisions into reality and get a 360-degree view of what it actually takes to build a company. IS IT YOU WE ARE LOOKING FOR? We're currently looking for Founder's Associate Interns across two focus areas: Finance and Marketing. * Focus Finance: You work across the full finance stack: you support the development and maintenance of our financial model, take ownership of our financial tracking and accounting, monitor runway and budget across departments, and contribute to investor communications by preparing materials, reports, and KPI dashboards that reflect our performance and vision. You'll see what it takes to build the financial backbone of a venture-backed cybersecurity startup from scratch. * Focus Marketing: You work across the full marketing stack: You support paid and organic campaigns across different channels and draft content for our socials (e.g. LinkedIn & Reddit), blog, and newsletter. You help keep our brand and design assets sharp and consistent (Figma/Canva), and own the end-to-end logistics of webinars, conferences, and field marketing events.You'll see what it takes to build a B2B cybersecurity marketing engine from scratch. Whichever you choose, you'll own real work from day one. Across both focus areas, you'll spot opportunities to improve workflows, introduce effective tools, and bring more structure to how we operate. Expect to be pulled into projects outside your lane on a regular basis, wherever the team needs an extra pair of hands. WHY REVEL8? You... * Are currently pursuing or have recently completed a degree in Business, Engineering, or a related field with a strong track record of academic excellence. * Are biased towards action and prioritize high-velocity execution, but know when precision is non-negotiable. * Are a "no task too small" operator: you understand that building a startup involves everything from high-level research to the nitty-gritty of daily operations. You're as comfortable fixing a broken internal process as you are analyzing market data. * Are a resilient problem-solver: you're open-minded and thrive in unfamiliar domains. When the path is ambiguous, you stay curious and keep pushing until you find a solution. * Are AI-native: AI tools are an essential part of your daily workflow to maximize speed and creativity. You pair this with solid proficiency in "classic" tools like Google Sheets, Slides, and Notion to structure and present your work clearly. * Are a fluent communicator: you speak fluent English (German is a plus), enabling seamless communication within our international team, with our clients, and other stakeholders. Bonus * (Finance) Previous exposure to financial modelling, accounting, controlling, or investor reporting. * (Marketing) Previous hands-on experience with paid social, content creation, video editing, or design tools like Figma or Canva. * A track record of side projects, student initiatives, or community work where you actually shipped something.
