About the Internship
Do you want experience that helps you build a stronger VC resume and develop real venture-style research skills? The WSO Venture Capital Internship is a highly selective, off-cycle virtual internship designed to help top students gain hands-on experience through structured training and venture-focused work.
We screen thousands of students globally to identify high-potential talent. Strong interns that are screened will have their profiles shared with our network of partner organizations, including:
- micro-VC funds
- emerging managers
- venture studios
- accelerators / incubators
- angel syndicates
Only a limited number of interns are selected each quarter per geographic region, ensuring a high-impact experience and meaningful mentorship.
What You’ll Gain
Venture Capital Training (Weeks 1–2)
The internship begins with two weeks of structured training designed to build the core skills used in venture investing, including:
- VC fund structures and economics
- Venture roles and sourcing workflows
- SAFEs, convertible notes, and preferred equity
- Term sheets (control + economics) and cap table modeling basics
- Startup diligence fundamentals (market, product, team, traction)
- Investment memo writing
- Exit dynamics and portfolio math
Top candidates who pass the training assessments advance to placement.
Venture Experience & Placement (Weeks 3–10)
After training, interns work directly with our partner network (micro-VCs, venture studios, accelerators, and angel syndicates) to support:
- deal flow and sourcing
- market mapping and thesis research
- competitive landscape research
- startup evaluations and deal memos
- diligence support and IC-prep style briefs
Who Should Apply?
This program is ideal for:
- Highly motivated students (freshmen/sophomores not limited)
- Candidates exploring venture capital, startups, growth equity, or investing
- Strong researchers and analytical thinkers
- Students who want an edge in competitive recruiting
