" Target applying to a new VC firm!  - It's Simple 💡"

How?

You often hear about funds raising millions, right? Well, here’s a tip: target these funds for internships!

Why a new fund?

Every new fund has a new investment thesis different from the last one. That’s why they’re always on the lookout for talent that aligns with their new investment approach. Most of the time, these funds don’t advertise job opportunities publicly. They prefer finding new people through their networks. This is your chance to shine! Email them and stand out that you are a perfect fit for their new fund.

How to apply and stand out?

Apply: When applying, email them using various email formats like (name@firmname.domain) to maximize your chances of getting noticed.

Stand out: Since you're cold-emailing partners or other professionals, keep your email concise and to the point. To stand out, share a startup deal that aligns with their new fund. Include a brief investment memo outlining the opportunity. If you need guidance on writing a short memo, you can refer to the VC learning resources (assuming you all have access). Also, highlight your experience that could add value to their fund in your email.

The most important part here is - to share the startup deal that matches their investment thesis. This shows your ability to source quality startup deals and present them with an investment thesis, explaining why they should invest in that startup. This showcases your structured thinking regarding investment decisions.

Will it work?

Most of the time, I have seen people secure full-time jobs by following this method. So, go ahead; there is nothing to lose and everything to gain!
