Wave Ventures was founded by a mix of students to maximize many things - both for ourselves and for others.
For ourselves, setting up a VC fund and running it would provide an incomparable chance to learn, help others and encourage audacity in anybody we would meet. At the same time, founding the first student-run VC fund in the Nordics was a manifestation of our willingness to make the path instead of taking an existing one.
We want to create the same opportunity for the most intensely curious of our peers, and thus the management responsibility of our fund will be passed on the to the next team regularly, but gradually, creating a continuity for years to come.
To carry this out, we are now in search of new team members to continue the journey of building the next big things.
If you are a university student with passion for entrepreneurship and tech startups, drive for helping others while learning radically fast, and interest towards the world of venture capital, Wave Ventures might be what you’re looking for.
