VC out of undergrad --> PE analyst/internship possible?
I finished my 3 year undergraduate in business, majoring in finance, 6 months ago. I've been working as an intern at an early stageVCfirm (series A) ever since.
我3日投资工作到目前为止,支持我analyst and investment manager with the IM. I take care of Market analysis, competition analysis and a few smaller sections. I also get to do some niche research on topics. I take care of incoming deal flow, organize deals and also scout of interesting deals and write a short thesis on them to have it reviewed by the manager. I also manage portfolio monitoring. I've built a dynamic monitoring framework with my manager and I load it up every month and analysis it. As for core modelling work, I haven't yet gotten my fingers in it at work, I will on the next investment. I have been working on my modelling skills away from work, doing analysis on public equities.
While I really like the work, I want to move and invest inPE/growth equity stage, from where the firm could support me with anMBA.
A long term rough goal of mine would be to set up aPEfund of my own.
I come from a non-target, writingCFAlevel 1 in a few months. (India)How may I make a move into PE?
Thank you

It might be easier for you to look intoIBsthat take people with a few months of experience (Jefferies,JPMorgan, someEvercore divisions) and then a year or two down the line you'll be much better positioned for growth orPE
Hey, so did you find any solution? Did you make the move? old post but still.. I'm curious as itoo might have an option to intern at a small early stage focusedVCbut worried about the exit opps as it will be my very first internship and i dont want to restrict myself to such restrictive career this early.
I'd say go do a short stint at a well-knownIBand then move toVCif you wish.
I couldn't get into goodIBbut I started off at a small timeVCbut now I'm trying to scale up. It's a real grind, you'll have a lot of nay sayers and fuck faces who will undermine you but have a plan and keep going. Figure out what works and what doesn't and keep the grind.
Did this a while back.
Interned at aVC-> DidIBfor the summer ->MMPEinternship
Hi, if possible can you share your process in detail eg was it also a early stage smallvc, how lond did you stay, how did you leverage thatvcstint foriboffer and then theibforpeand this is in India so, wasMBAnecessary?
Sorry if too many questions, i am trying to find as much info about this as possible
Sure. I did 1 year at theVC, performed well (worked on investments etc.), and the experience was good enough for anIBto take a closer look at my resume and give me an offer.Combination of buysidework +sellside work helpedmepitchtoPEsthat I could plausibly do well in an internship. NoMBAneeded thiswas back in undergrad. YMMV, but in my experience being able to tell a good story matters a lot when pulling off moves like this.
