The externship centered on sourcing investment opportunities and building investor-ready analysis for Vertical AI startups. Work included researching target markets, evaluating company fundamentals, and drafting elements of an investment memo. Deliverables reflected deal screening and written investment analysis.
I sourced and evaluated Vertical AI opportunities, ran market and company analysis, and translated findings into investor-facing memo material.
