What we do
Merantix is a pioneering technology lab and incubation platform for Artificial Intelligence. Our mission is to conceptualize, build and scale AI products that transform entire industries and organizations. During the last year Merantix has successfully established two successful ventures in medical imaging and autonomous driving, while many more pilots are in the pipeline. Merantix’ incubation platform is distinct in its access to world-class engineering talent, its trusted brand among corporations and regulators as well as its sophisticated technology stack to accelerate prototyping and productization. On our path to becoming Europe’s #1 breeding ground for AI products, we seek entrepreneurial minds that have the ambition to fully disrupt markets with the latest AI technology.
Your Role
Merantix is looking for Entrepreneurs-in-Residence/ Founders, that are driven to disrupt traditional markets with AI and build an outstanding company with the help of a strong technical team, state of the art machine learning technology, operational support, and secured seed funding.

Conceptualize, test and substantiate product ideas
Acquire pilot customers and sell proof-of-concept projects to test the technical feasibility of the intended product
Lead and grow an organization that should cover all relevant profiles as well as a strong network of advisors
Close collaboration with a CTO to define, iterate and execute the product development as well as company roadmap
Lead the spin-off process and a subsequent fundraising round
Shape and grow your venture to the greatest organization in its industry
