Investing in High-Growth Technology Startups
By Conner Lee ‘27Orbit Startups is a venture capital firm investing in high growth technology startups in emerging and frontier markets.
During my time at Orbit, I supported the Investment Team. My responsibilities included evaluating the investment landscape in the Southeast Asia region, developing investment memos, and assisting in the creation and optimization of financial models. I also helped companies prepare adequate data rooms for raising capital and sourced various investors, venture funds, and potential acquirers for portfolio companies and Orbit.
At my time at Orbit, I had the opportunity to live abroad in the city of Shanghai. I took this opportunity to immerse myself in their culture and food. I learned a lot about myself including my continued interest in the startup and venture scene while polishing my financial skills such as financial modeling and research methods. My favorite part about this internship was interacting with the diverse team and the other interns in the beautiful Shanghai office location.
Internship funded by the Robert S. Goodfriend '57 Summer Internship Fund.
