Company Description

NEDGEX is the innovation and corporate-venturing arm of the NETZSCH Group, focused on building and investing in early-stage B2B deep-tech ventures.

Job Description

As a Investment Analyst, you will play a central role in evaluating startup opportunities, analyzing financial performance, and guiding strategic investment decisions. Your work will directly influence which ventures NEDGEX builds, funds, or acquires.

Qualifications

• Analyze data rooms, financial statements, and business plans of early-stage and growth-stage startups.
• Build, audit, and refine financial models — including ratio analysis, assumptions checks, and scenario modeling.
• Identify red flags, unrealistic assumptions, and deviations from industry benchmarks.
• Develop best-case / base-case / worst-case scenarios and calculate exit proceeds.
• Perform commercial and financial due diligence in close alignment with our venture architects.
• Summarize insights into clear, executive-ready memos and investment recommendations.
• Conduct competitor research, market sizing, and benchmarking.
• Support cap table modeling and valuation work for venture builds and acquisitions.
• Maintain independent, structured workflows with regular feedback loops rather than relying on predefined tasks.

Must-Haves

• Strong experience in financial modeling (Excel-heavy workflows). You work predominantly with keyboard shortcuts; speed and precision are essential.
• Excellent analytical judgment: you can look at numbers and immediately see what stands out.
• Experience in M&A, VC, investment banking, FP&A, strategy consulting, or corporate development.
• Strong command of English (daily working language).
• Ability to work independently and deliver high-quality results without micromanagement.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience analyzing early-stage startup financials.
• Comfort working with incomplete data and turning ambiguity into structured analysis.
• Familiarity with SaaS metrics, deep-tech business models, or hardware-software hybrids.
• Experience with due diligence processes or interacting with founders.
• Not afraid of Windows — Excel speed matters. (If you're only on a Mac, convince us)
