Job Description

As a VC Intern at Wu Song Capital, you will be able to immerse yourself in the dynamic world of early stage investing. Unlike investment banking and other financial analysts who focus on modelling and deal execution, a VC internship is less structured and offers a unique chance to work directly with entrepreneurs, finding deals and evaluating business ideas.

Role Overview

VC interns are on the front lines of finding and screening deals. You are expected to bring an ambitious, sales-like mentality to this task, oftentimes sourcing potential deals by reaching out to companies and entrepreneurs to set up meetings. In addition, like other financial analysts, support all aspects of a deal, from due diligence to modelling and execution. With due diligence, they produce the initial analytics that leads a firm to pursue or reject a deal.

Key Responsibilities

1. Conduct market research and analysis to identify investment opportunities in target regions and sectors.

2. Assist in screening and evaluating potential investment opportunities, including analysing financial statements, business models, and market dynamics.

3. Support the due diligence process by gathering and synthesizing information, conducting reference checks, and assessing risks and opportunities.

4. Prepare investment memos, presentations, and other materials for internal discussions and investor meetings.

5. Monitor and track the performance of portfolio companies, including financial metrics, key milestones, and market trends.

6. Collaborate with the investment team to support various initiatives and projects to enhance operational efficiency and drive value creation.

Job Requirements

1. Currently enrolled in a bachelor's degree programme in Economics, Business, Finance, or a relevant field from an accredited university

2. Previous internship or coursework in finance, investment banking, consulting, or venture capital is a plus

Minimum Commitment: 6-months
