Summer Internship 2017

We (SVB) are seeking an amazing intern for the Summer of 2017.

The past interns that I’ve hired have gone to do some interesting things in the startup/venture community:

Kevin Carter, who subsequently joined SV Angel as an Associate and is now a Partner
Chaz Flexman, who subsequently joined SVB full-time, then worked for A16Z and now is VP of Strategic Relationship at PCH International
Thomas Knowles, who subsequently joined the SVB venture arm and is now a Partner at Gratitude Railroad (a VC fund in Utah)
Dimitris Kouvaros, who subsequently and recently became a Director at Newark Venture Partners (a new VC fund / Accelerator)
Lorel Sim, who was our most recent Intern this past Summer, she is currently a Sophomore at Stanford and will no doubt be doing interesting things in her career

Here are the characteristics that the candidate must possess:

If this sounds like you and can clearly demonstrate the above characteristics, please fill this out: google doc

A few key points to highlight:

This is a paid position (~$15 / hour)
Ideally, the candidate is currently a Freshman, Sophomore or Junior
Start date would be around June, flexible depending on your class schedule
Could be either full-time or part-time
Position is based in NYC
Ideally, the candidate lives in NYC, in case we would like to extend the internship beyond the summer
You get to work directly with me 🙂
All the work you will be doing is squarely focused on data/metrics regarding the startup/vc community. A lot of ad hoc projects around venture funding/activity, sector analysis, portfolio reviews, assisting with blog posts, working with CRM, etc.
I will review applicants in Jan/Feb/March and make a decision in early April.
