This internship position is part of the Capital Team, within Endeavor Catalyst, which supports Endeavor Entrepreneurs as they prepare to raise capital from the best venture capital and growth equity investors. Over the course of your ten weeks with us, your time will be split between helping entrepreneurs prepare to raise their next round of funding and helping the team build and strengthen Endeavor’s knowledge base on global venture capital and growth equity investors.

You will be supporting entrepreneurs by connecting them with top-tier mentors, mapping potential investors, and curating outreach strategies. By continuing to build out Endeavor’s global investor network, we help our Entrepreneurs access smarter, better-connected capital from the top VC firms active in emerging markets. You will also get to play a role in the Endeavor Catalyst investment process and see first-hand how our rules-based fund operates.

This role will work most closely with Isabela Carvajal (Associate, Capital), Margaret Pollack (Director, Endeavor Catalyst & Capital), Anna Hubbell (Manager, Capital), and Jaysel Shah (Investor Network Lead).

HIRING TIMELINE

• We will accept applications until January 9th and begin interviews the week following.

• An offer will be made by the middle of February.

• There will be 3-4 rounds of individual interviews with an assignment.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Grasping truly ‘global’ VC: You will dive into Endeavor’s network of venture capital funds, helping to identify which funds may potentially be a fit for investment into the companies we are supporting at the time. You will support efforts to educate these investors about Endeavor’s mission and about investing in emerging and growth markets worldwide.

• Extracting insights: You will serve as a thought partner to our teams in profiling and segmenting relevant investors, supporting entrepreneurs on their fundraising strategy, and identifying and facilitating strategic introductions. You will also catalog and recommend critical venture capital events that we and our entrepreneurs should attend to get connected with relevant investors.

• Creating case studies: One of the most powerful ways for us to showcase the unique role we play is by having strong examples on hand. Over the course of the summer, you will create a few case studies that showcase where our capital support has been the most impactful, which can ultimately be used as a tool to help recruit future entrepreneurs into the network.

• Supporting Endeavor Catalyst Investments: You will support the Endeavor Catalyst investment process by writing outreach notes to investors, as well as memos for direct investment opportunities for the Endeavor Catalyst LP network.

• Build Expert Agenda for IPO/M&A Program: You will deep dive into Endeavor’s extensive network of mentors to help build and curate a robust agenda of virtual sessions with experts in the world of IPO and M&A for a recently established program called ‘Paths to Liquidity’ that will service entrepreneurs as they plan their company’s exit strategy.
