About us
We at TUM Venture Labs believe that real innovation happens when excellent research meets entrepreneurial courage. As a joint initiative of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and UnternehmerTUM, we support technology-driven founding teams on their journey from the lab to the world - with specialized labs in areas such as artificial intelligence, robotics, biotech, and sustainability.
At Venture Lab AI, everything revolves around the technologies of the future: we bring together AI talents with research, startups, and investors, creating an environment where real breakthroughs can happen.
As an AI Pipeline Manager, you will become a central part of this ecosystem. You will discover new teams, guide them on their path to founding, and help to unlock their potential. If you’re excited to work closely with deep tech, entrepreneurship, and shaping the future, then we look forward to getting to know you.
Your mission
Start-up Selection & Funding Support: You’ll screen exciting AI start-ups and review their materials (e.g. pitch decks). As part of our selection committee, you’ll help identify promising teams to receive funding such as prototyping grants – shaping the future of innovation from day one.
Mentoring & Support: You’ll be a reliable point of contact for the start-ups we support – checking in regularly, listening to challenges, and coordinating helpful resources. You don’t need to be a tech expert – just someone who’s curious, empathetic, and organized.
Keeping Things on Track: Admin & Coordination: From preparing contracts to coordinating payments with our accounting team – you help ensure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. You’ll keep our overview documents tidy and up to date, and help maintain structure in a dynamic environment.
Events & External Representation: You’ll attend AI-related events and represent AI+ (or AI Nation) with confidence and enthusiasm. Whether you're networking or listening in on the latest trends – you’ll be a visible part of our mission.
Partner Collaboration: You’ll work closely with partner initiatives like K.I.E.Z – especially when organizing joint programs or supporting smooth handovers between teams and institutions.
Strategic & Operational Contributions: In addition to daily operations, you’ll contribute to internal projects – such as setting up a CRM system or developing new support formats for start-ups based on recurring needs. Your input matters here.
