I had the unique opportunity to contribute to two investment committees and took ownership of core workstreams like financial modeling and drafting of investment memo. The collaborative culture and the trust placed in interns to engage directly with founders really helped me bridge the gap between academic concepts and real-world investment decision-making.”
