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

The internship begins with two weeks of structured training designed to build the core skills used in venture investing, including:

- 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
