Investment Analyst Intern
By Terry Zhang ‘24SOSV Orbit Startups: Scaling breakthrough startups from around the globe across emerging and frontier markets.
Projects that I’m proud to be a part of:
Conducting industry research;
Reviewing financial models;
Attending meetings with startups and key stakeholders, and producing meeting summaries;
Coordinating a session between startup founders and an experienced mentor.
What I gained from this experience:
Exposure to a wide range of industries which the startups occupy;
A more nuanced understanding of venture capital and the world of finance, which informs my career aspirations
One unexpected perk of this internship: My supervisor and I managed to meet each other in person and have dinner together, despite that I have been working remotely. As a recent graduate of another liberal arts college, she shared a lot about her career and gave me some helpful advice about both academics and career plans, which I am very grateful.
Funding provided by the Robert S. Goodfriend Summer Internship.
