UVC Partners: Data & AI - Master Thesis / Internship (f/m/x)

UVC Partners is one of Europe’s leading early-stage venture capital firms. With our fourth fund generation of €250 million, we invest in disruptive B2B startups at the seed and Series A stage across Europe. Our focus areas include enterprise software, mobility, and industrial technologies.
Headquartered in Munich and closely integrated with UnternehmerTUM, Europe’s largest entrepreneurship center, we are proud partners to some of Europe’s most ambitious founders – including Flixbus, Isar Aerospace, finn.auto, Proxima Fusion, and Aleph Alpha.

What makes us special
At UVC Partners, we’re driven by a deep passion for entrepreneurship and its power to positively shape society. Environmental and social responsibility are core to our DNA. We hold ourselves to the highest standards in everything we do. As a firm, we continuously reinvent ourselves to stay ahead and best serve our portfolio and investors. We believe in ownership over hierarchy and foster a culture built on collaboration, curiosity, and personal engagement. And while we’re serious about our mission, we also genuinely enjoy working together and building lasting relationships along the way.

How we work
We are an AI-powered development team. Everyone here codes with AI assistance, and we treat that as a craft. You need to know which parts of a problem to hand over, where these tools fail quietly, and how to review output you did not write.
Agency matters a lot in our team. You get mentorship, context, and access to everyone. You do not get someone assigning you tasks every morning. Take a rough problem statement, come back with an approach, show drafts while they can still change, and flag what is not working. What you bring should outweigh what it costs us to support you.

You will join a specialized team working at the intersection of applied research and venture capital, side by side with investors, AI researchers, and engineers building the backbone of our investment intelligence. This is a hands-on role with real stakes. You will be treated as a full member of the team, expected to take a research question from literature to a working prototype and to present your results to the people who make the investment decisions.

Potential Research Directions
These are directions we could explore, with scope defined together at the start based on your background and where the work leads.
1. With Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) we would work on a graph-structured database, where people and companies are nodes and the relationships between them are part of the data, and ask what that structure can tell us that a table cannot.
2. With Program-aided Language Models (PAL) we would have the model write a small program for every number it pulls from decks and financial statements, so figures are a
