The OCCIDENT Way of Working

The OCCIDENT Way of Working

Take on responsibility every day

As an investment manager, you are a true partner for your start-ups and accompany them in all aspects of company manage­ment.

You determine the direction

As an OCCIDENT Investment Manager, you build your own portfolio and make game-changing decisions on an ongoing basis.

In our team, you are irreplaceable

We are team players – your collea­gues stand behind you, support your work and appreciate your expertise.

We demand and nurture further develop­ment

We do not know what it means to stand still. That is why progression and further develop­ment in all areas is important to us – also for our employees.

We want you to be well

A wide range of benefits ensures that you feel comfort­able, that your work-life balance feels right and that you can also achieve your personal goals.

Creating the Future Together

Support your start-ups in developing successful products and companies from innovative technologies

OCCIDENT makes a positive contribution to society through sustainable and meaningful investments in deep tech start-ups. As a strong and agile expert investor who has concrete solutions at hand and makes decisions quickly, we count on a team of highly qualified and autonomous people, who want to lead their projects to success on their own initiative, at our locations in Munich and Zug.

We invest early-stage and accompany deep tech start-ups from a very early phase. In this sense, the path to success is decisively shaped by many forward-looking and sustain­able decisions by OCCIDENT investment managers – the success of a start-up is therefore also always the success of the investment manager.

As an investment manager at OCCIDENT, you have the chance to make a real difference every day. Your intuition for the appro­priate next step allows you to reco­gnize from count­less innovative techno­logies those that have the potential to be success­ful. With your commit­ment to your portfolio companies, you decide on generating added value and pushing concrete solutions for challenges facing society.

We do it the OCCIDENT Way.

To further expand our colla­boration with leading uni­ver­sities and research insti­tutions, we have launched our OCCIDENT@ACADEMIA program to actively support young academic start-ups on their entre­preneurial journey.
