Venture Capital Internship – Investor Relations & Analytics Intern – Capria Ventures

Capria is seeking a highly qualified, entrepreneurial, and self-directed investment professional to expand our investor relations and reporting activity across an underlying portfolio of 250+ companies, and 15 funds representing nearly USD 1B in AUM. The ideal candidate will have a passion and curiosity for learning about the Global South (South & Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa) venture capital ecosystem.

In this role, the candidate can expect to learn the ins-and-outs of the portfolio reporting process and how to package those learnings into succinct and engaging reports, pitch-decks, and newsletters. Capria also provides a unique opportunity for fellows to learn the fundraising process and what goes into having a call with leading institutional investors, HNWIs, and corporate investors across the globe. The candidate will support the team in researching, packaging, and disseminating information to be shared with top-tier blue-chip investors.

You will gain invaluable experience in pitch prowess and investor engagement at a global scale.

We are seeking a highly motivated individual with a passion to learn about global VC investing, and is excited to work in a fast-paced, dynamic, distributed environment, working closely with a globally distributed investment team across Latin America, India, Africa and North America.

The most vital areas of experience for a successful candidate include:

• Any professional experience in a financial services organization requiring strong organizational, analytical, technical, and communication skills is a plus.
• Any professional experience in fundraising or other outreach that involves compiling and validating data into a high-quality / compelling story is a plus.
• Experience in a start-up environment or equivalent is a plus. We’re a scrappy, hustling VC firm – you will be able to get a lot done, with limited resources, and quickly.

Key personal skills and abilities include:

• A proactive disposition to take action
• Highly organized and able to track multiple requests at the same time
• Process-oriented
• A strong work ethic and willingness to work as needed to accomplish projects on timelines
• Strong written/verbal communication and outreach skills
• Ability to learn quickly
• Resourcefulness and ability to find information that is not readily available

Knowledge of SalesForce is a plus. Comfortable working with web-based file storage/sharing services like Dropbox and others. Comfortable and effective working remotely, and able to stay productive in a remote environment.
