Co-Founder

Company Description BudnBed is a student-focused accommodation marketplace that consolidates fragmented housing options into a single platform. It brings together student residences, co-living spaces, private rentals, sublets, hostels, and other accommodation types so students can discover and book stays more easily. By centralizing existing supply, BudnBed reduces the time and effort students spend searching while increasing the variety of choices available. Accommodation providers gain an additional channel to reach student demand and improve occupancy. The company aims to streamline the student housing experience for both seekers and providers.

Day-to-day tasks include conducting market and user research, helping to refine the business model, and supporting go-to-market initiatives for the student marketplace. You will collaborate on sales outreach to accommodation providers, assist with marketing campaigns targeting students, and help build relationships with key partners. The role also involves developing and testing hypotheses, analyzing platform performance, and contributing to pitch materials for investors or stakeholders. This is an internship, hybrid role based in Berlin, Germany, with the flexibility to work partly from home.
