Two Startup Ecosystem Analyst Interns (m/f/d)
DEEP Ecosystems is a global community of startup ecosystem builders, dedicated to supporting grass-root innovation projects and fostering interconnectivity among startup ecosystems globally.
One of our main activities, the Startup Heatmap Europe, is mapping founder mobility and cities’ attractiveness for startups. Based on the qualitative and quantitative insights, we help cities and community stakeholders to better position themselves within the European startup ecosystem. This happens via 1:1 consulting, the production of trend reports as well as the execution of the DEEP Startup City Accelerator for Ecosystem Builders.
Our work has been recognized by long-standing partners like the Allianz Cultural Foundation, Atomico Ventures, Balderton Capital and some of the most dynamic municipalities around Europe (Barcelona, Stockholm, Vienna, Berlin, Moscow,..). The results have been featured in international media like the New York Times, Politico, Venturebeat and many more.
