Six-month full-time paid internships, based in Paris

Who are we?

Serena is an early-stage venture capital firm based in Paris, France.

Our mission is to support the success of innovative and ambitious entrepreneurs to serve a better world. We act as long-term business partners for founders building transformative and sustainable companies.

Over the past 15 years, we have:

• Raised €1 billion across 7 funds and helped create over €10 billion in value
• Been business partners from the early days of category-leading companies including Dataiku, Malt, Uniphore, TheFork, Electra and Descartes Underwriting
• Created a dynamic community of over 500 C-Level executives who ****share their daily challenges and best practices through meetups and ask-your-peers channels

• Ticket size: from €500K to €2M
• Focus: AI / Consumer / Fintech-Insurtech

We are convinced that capital alone is not enough for founders to build in the absolute best conditions. Over the years, we've witnessed that execution excellence — whether at the product-market fit or the scale-up stage — is what separates great companies from legendary ones.

That's why more than half of our team are former operators and repeat founders: Serena's Operating Partners. Our Operating Partners serve as resources for Serena's portfolio founders to address operational challenges and achieve the highest standards of execution excellence.
