COMPANY DESCRIPTION
SAP started in 1972 as a team of five colleagues with a desire to do something new. Together, they changed enterprise software and reinvented how business was done. Today, as a market leader in enterprise application software, we remain true to our roots. That’s why we engineer solutions to fuel innovation, foster equality and spread opportunity for our employees and customers across borders and cultures. SAP values the entrepreneurial spirit, fostering creativity and building lasting relationships with our employees. We know that a diverse and inclusive workforce keeps us competitive and provides opportunities for all. We believe that together we can transform industries, grow economics, lift up societies and sustain our environment. Because it’s the best-run businesses that make the world run better and improve people’s lives.

THREE REASONS TO APPLY FOR SAP IXP
ABOUT THE TEAM:
SAP.iO, we’re transforming the way that SAP builds new businesses. Our mission is to empower the innovators that will simplify and transform the way businesses operate. To execute against our mission, we invest, empower, and guide innovators inside and outside of SAP as they build new businesses to change the face of enterprise software. We’re looking for a Summer MBA Intern to join our Entrepreneur in Residence (EiR) program.
ABOUT SAP.IO ENTREPRENEUR IN RESIDENCE (EIR) PROGRAM
With more than €20 billion in annual sales, SAP manages an enormous diversity of businesses. However, moving the needle inside of SAP’s dominant enterprise business requires adding more than incremental innovation – it requires the development of massively disruptive organizations.
SAP.iO’s EiR team is tasked to explore, evaluate, and provide recommendations on solutions to big problems in enterprise software, using SAP’s unique position and differentiated data sources to transform industries ranging from talent management to security. Our recommendations and incubations must be big enough to move the needle at SAP, attack new market opportunities for the company, and be able to be tested through rapid iteration and constant customer feedback. These may be strategic fast follow efforts, ventures aligned to one or more of SAP.iO’s strategic opportunity areas, or venture sourcing through acquihire. Each EiR must have the ability to independently structure thinking and workplans around each potential venture topic and execute that process independently; as well as provide feedback to other EiR team member’s proposals.
After validating an opportunity, we identify promising talent and ideas, invest between $750K and $2.5M in seed stage capital, and scale the ventures over time. The startups built within SAP.iO
incubation operate differently to traditional corporate business units: General Managers are
entrusted with end-to-end responsibilities, teams manage to cash, and Boards provide oversight.
