Would you like to grow a deep tech startup? Are you excited about creating an international business from research?

Join our talent pool of Business Developers for future deep tech start-ups

By joining, you will be the first to hear about open positions that match your experience and background. We need many new business developers yearly, as we have around 10-15 teams annually applying for R2B funding from all our schools and their departments:

  • School of Chemical Engineering
  • School of Electrical Engineering
  • School of Engineering
  • School of Science
  • School of Arts, Design and Architecture
  • School of Business

So far, we have grown more than 40 deep-tech start-ups and spin-offs from Aalto R2B projects with total investments exceeding 350M€.

Aalto R2B projects are co-funded with Business Finland, and their main goal is to prepare the commercialization of the research results into new business. R2B projects typically last for 1.5 years and get 500,000+ € funding.

Business Developer - What you'll do in R2B project?

You will explore different paths for commercialization and map out different commercialization options, e.g., start-up establishment. Other tasks include market analysis, customer profiling, gap and risk analysis, identification of business models, go-to-market strategy, and identification of future funding models.

You'll actively identify partners for the project and negotiate with them. You will also prepare commercialization paths to meet the potential clients' demands. An important task is to create a go-to-market plan for the services and products of the project.

What we offer

We offer a meaningful job where you can create a business from research in an international environment. You'll get the support of the research team, mentors, Aalto Innovation Services, Aalto Startup Center, and the active Aalto community. After the project, there is a possibility that you could become part of the new deep tech startup as a CEO or Business Director.

When the project gets R2B funding, you will be employed by Aalto University for the duration of the project. The projects typically last 1–2 years. The position can be either full-time or part-time depending on your skills and role.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for an energetic, experienced, and business-minded person with an entrepreneurial mindset. You don't need to be an expert in the specific technology but should share a genuine interest in building a commercial business from a superb deep tech research project. We have the technology experts; you bring the business drive.

What we value?

  • Fluency in English
  • Experience in business development, commercialization, entrepreneurship, and/or startups
  • Capability to create scalable business from research
  • Ability to work alongside a team of researchers, academics, and professors to find the best commercialization aspect of the innovation and prepare commercialization paths to meet client needs
  • Excellent teamwork, negotiation, and communication skills

Sounds good, right?

If you are interested in our future cases and would like to be on the frontline of hearing the news, join our talent pool of Business Developers for future deep tech start-ups. Send us your CV and motivation letter through our recruitment system. We are interested in hearing how and why you are the person to grow an amazing deep tech startup from Aalto.

Note that we are not looking for consultancy-type arrangements, but rather team members for the R2B teams who will be employed by Aalto and would be interested in participating in a potential future deep-tech startup.
