Yesterday, I took a small step towards my interest in Venture Capital after a long gap being on the other side of the table and failing as a co-founder, the one-day virtual internship offered by H2 Ventures on Forage provided me with a brief insight into: * The Basics of the industry * Investment selection processes * Startup Valuation and * Startup Growth I am open to internships as I continue to expand my knowledge of the industry until I find an opportunity.

Breaking into VC hack: Use VC internships to get your foot in the door. I did this through Harlem Capital's program. What I didn't realize is how many others have and continue to do the same. Harlem Capital is a market maker and mover in diversity-lens investing. Outside of our investments, we are also focused on cultivating the next generation of diverse VC checkwriters. We've had 117 interns over 6 years, you can see the impact in the screenshot. It's incredible! If your firm has a VC internship program, flag it in the comments for aspiring VCs. #venturecapital #founder #startup #recruiting #hiring

My 10-week internship at Blackfinch Ventures is now coming to an end and I couldn’t have had a more transformational and productive experience. Everyone in the Ventures team went above and beyond to involve me in their day-to-day, assign me plenty of my own projects and responsibility, and provide insightful feedback to aid my professional development. I did my upmost to fit as much into the 10 weeks as I could with the help of the wider team; here are some of my highlights: ✅ Spent five weeks 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗣𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆-𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀 at next to zero cost. The integration of multiple APIs and further complex functionality to gather information from the web and social outlets allowed me to summarise, filter, and provide scoring logic for potential deals not identifiable through traditional platforms. I spent 90 minutes presenting my outcomes to the wider team at the culmination of my MVP. ✅ Participated in 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 with the founders of exciting new tech companies and members of the BF Ventures deals team. My engineering background helped me here in conversing with founders and making the right notes. I was able to join at least one call with every member of the deals team which gave me insight as to how each member of the team navigates their calls differently. ✅ 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗺𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 using my notes. Further presentational work included producing graphical material on our portfolio companies’ performance which I 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗼 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀. ✅ Took over 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 for a few weeks where I negotiated discounted rates with companies providing services that can accelerate the growth of Blackfinch’s current portfolio companies.

The barrier of entry into venture capital and start-up firms is high for youths. Most of us are not born as investors and founders. We need exposure to these industries through work experience. However, it might seem daunting. As a high school student, it is difficult to find internships in these firms. Most of these firms have a diamond shaped organizational structure, hiring experienced staff mostly. Let’s challenge the status quo and open up more opportunities for youths! At SeenThroughVentures, we aim to increase accessibility into venture capital and start-up firms for aspiring investors and founders. We place an emphasis on bridging the skills gap and creating more job opportunities for the youths in venture capital and start-up firms.
