After 6 years in the corporate venture-building industry in Spain, we are launching our Master’s graduate program to provide an accelerated learning experience within the venture building world.
We are starting to recruit the next cohort of our Master’s graduate program Fix-Term Contract Builder passionate about creating new ventures with top corporates that will change our world at a challenging and fulfilling rhythm!
About the Job
Throughout the program, the selected candidates will learn about our venture building methodology and will work hand-in-hand with our Building team in our Insigths phase to understand market problems, trends, and possible solutions. In our Labs phase, candidates will learn how to validate a business concept from scratch, apply experiments, build MVPs, and implement pilots to learn from real-life experiences. Once our business concepts are validated, during the Ventures phase, we accompany the new venture through its set-up, go-to-market, and early growth challenges.
Our team of builders is the heart of Byld, the reason why they need to know about supporting, leading, and being part of the team of each company we build, from business to operations to marketing.
As part of this team, you will work hand-in-hand with builders specialized in “Business”, “Growth” and “Product”. This work dynamic creates synergies where everyone can learn from different fields and disciplines to become a jack of all trades: a 360º business builder.
