About The Position

University Growth Fund offers students an internship experience in venture capital and private equity investing, with opportunities to contribute to work commonly undertaken by partners or directors. Interns meet with entrepreneurs and investors, conduct due diligence, assess companies’ investment attractiveness, and help determine whether the Fund invests. Following an investment, students may observe company boards and contribute value-add research and strategy projects. They can also source deals and build professional networks.

Students join for one semester as interns. Strong performers may continue in the Fund and be promoted to associate, taking on more autonomous work and refining an investment area of expertise. After approximately one year, high-performing associates may be promoted to senior associate, where they lead deals and projects and maintain relationships with entrepreneurs and other investors.

New interns complete an accelerated seven-week training program covering the basics of venture capital and private equity investing.
