An externship with HP Tech Ventures focused on methods for sourcing, researching, and evaluating early-stage technology startups for investment.
The externship taught venture-sourcing and startup analysis techniques used by an early-stage corporate venture group. Work covered market opportunity assessment, due diligence framing, and investment memo structure. Deliverables included a VC thesis exercise that applied those techniques with AI-assisted research.

I translated sourcing and diligence concepts into a concrete VC-style analysis, using AI-assisted research to structure a thesis and evaluate an early-stage technology opportunity.
