About the Company
The Investment Team Intern will work closely with one of our Investment Teams (iTeams) to support research, network-driven deal sourcing, and due diligence across venture capital opportunities. This role provides hands-on exposure to how venture capital firms identify, evaluate, and invest in high-growth startups.
Interns gain experience across the full investment lifecycle — from sourcing and screening startups to supporting diligence and contributing to internal investment discussions. This internship is ideal for someone interested in venture capital, startups, emerging technologies, and AI who wants to build strong analytical and research skills while learning directly from experienced investors.
This is a 10-week, full-time internship beginning in early June and based in one of our four investing offices: Boston, New York City, Menlo Park, or Chicago.
