Versatile Venture Capital

Interns (year-round)

Currently planned intern projects:

  • Market ourselves and the firm through owned channels, national media, etc.
  • Evaluate service providers
  • Conduct industry analyses
  • Talk with founders and select startups as partners
  • Execute a few new initiatives that we won’t mention publicly for now
  • Aid in birthing a new firm

Note that this list will inevitably evolve. As the firm grows, we will need support in origination, financial modeling, due diligence, transaction execution, etc.

Why join?

  • Work with a very experienced VC and mentor
  • Learn about venture capital, particularly fintech
  • Learn the behind-the-scenes of building a venture fund (fundraising, ops, etc.)
  • Learn how to launch a company:
  • Learn how to sell/raise money virtually
  • If you want to start a company later, we’ll likely be your earliest and biggest backer.
  • We’re in the business of meeting the top 0.1% early in their careers. The people you build deep relationships with now will go on to do interesting things.
  • Transparency.
  • Strong focus on mentoring.

Expertise/skill sets sought

We are open to both undergrad and grad interns. Ideal experience: VC or investing more broadly; strategy consulting; investment banking; product management at a tech company; investor relations/fundraising; sales.

Note that this is designed for someone who’s currently going to school full or part-time, as opposed to someone who’s looking for a new job.

We love working with individuals from diverse, underestimated backgrounds. A few markers we look for:

  • You built something nobody told you to build
  • Technical, or at least comfortable talking with technical people
  • Strong writing/presentation skills valued
  • High energy
  • Broadly literate about VC/startups. Our industry is very transparent; it’s easy to self-educate
  • History of associating with high-caliber people

Logistics

Flexible hours and start/end dates. Minimum 20 hour/week commitment, prefer full time. Hours and location are flexible.
