HP Tech Ventures: Deal Sourcing & Startup Analysis Externship
An HP Tech Ventures externship focused on sourcing, diligencing, and evaluating early-stage tech startups for potential venture investment.
Overview
During my externship with HP Tech Ventures, I focused on sourcing and analyzing innovative tech startups for potential investment opportunities. I developed skills in due diligence, synthesizing data into actionable insights, and crafting compelling investment memos. This experience equipped me with a solid foundation in venture capital practices and the ability to evaluate market opportunities
What I've accomplished
I produced a complete deal-sourcing and analysis package: an AI-generated scoring rubric and stress tests for candidate startups, competitor and financial diligence, a folder of synthesis reports, and a finalized investment-memo deliverable.
