- The RoleThis is not a rotational program or a shadowing experience. From day one, summer analysts work alongside senior deal professionals on live investments. Summer analysts will source companies, perform diligence, build financial models, and engage directly with founders and management teams. You will participate in a two-week training program at the start of the summer to build foundational skills, but the real learning happens on active deals. No prior investment experience is required or expected, and this internship is the primary recruiting pipeline for our full-time positions with our investing team.
Our Culture
We set a high bar externally and collaborate closely internally. Interns work as analysts on live deal teams with direct access to everyone at the firm, including managing directors. We maintain an open-door policy and pair each intern with a buddy for day-to-day support. We eat lunch together in the office, and our building has a full gym with a basketball, pickleball, and volleyball court.
