You don't want another job — you want to build a company.

Opportunities span business development, sales, marketing, growth, operations, strategy and venture building across the Frankfurt Rhine-Main startup ecosystem.
How the Co-Founder Matching works
Apply once. Join the Futury Co-Founder Pool. We review your profile and actively match you with startups from our network, based on your skills and what each founding team actually needs. No open marketplace, no cold applications to random teams.
We work with startups emerging from leading universities, research institutions and industry partners across the Frankfurt Rhine-Main region.
Futury is one of ten Startup Factories in Germany (awarded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs, BMWK) — we don't take fees, equity, or any cut. This is pure matching: we connect you with the right founding team, and then it's between you and them.
* Business expertise in one or more areas: business development, sales, marketing, finance, operations, or strategy
* Hands‑on builder mindset — you create structure where none exists and thrive in ambiguity
* Entrepreneurial thinking — you see problems as opportunities and want to co‑create, not execute
* Readiness for a real co‑founder role: equity over salary, ownership over assignment
* Passion for entrepreneurship and building companies from scratch — not joining a startup as an employee, but shaping it as a co-founder
* Located in or willing to work from the Rhein‑Main area (Frankfurt, Darmstadt, or Mainz), Germany
The startups you’ll meet
Early‑stage ventures from Data & AI, FinTech, DeepTech, GreenTech, HealthTech, and beyond — all based in the Rhein‑Main region, all with an active co‑founder search.
