Investor Relations Intern

Expires on June 27, 2026.

Fourward Ventures is seeking a sharp, organized, and self-directed business intern to provide critical coverage during a senior team member’s maternity leave. This is a high-visibility, hands-on role with direct exposure to investors, portfolio companies, and the day-to-day operations of an active fund. You will keep core work streams moving, own recurring reporting, and serve as a key node of internal coordination during a three-month window where continuity matters.

This is a paid engagement designed for an MBA summer intern or a strong upper-level undergraduate business student. Hybrid arrangements are available. Start date is flexible to align with academic calendars.

• Level: MBA intern or junior/senior business undergraduate
• Reports to:
  
  Investor Relations lead (with direct interaction across the investment team)
• Compensation:
  Competitive, commensurate with experience
• Location:
  
  Hybrid (in-office days expected for meetings and team coordination)

• Prepare and update recurring investor and LP reporting, including quarterly updates, capital account summaries, and portfolio performance snapshots.
• Pull, clean, and synthesize portfolio data (KPIs, valuations, runway, milestones) into clear, decision-ready outputs.
• Build and refine Excel/Google Sheets models and dashboards used to track fund-level.
• Draft sections of investor memos, LP letters, and internal updates; turn rough inputs into.
• Conduct light market and competitive research to support diligence conversations and portfolio company check-ins.

• Serve as the day-to-day operational point of contact for ongoing IR work streams during the leave window.
• Maintain and update the CRM, investor pipeline, and shared data room; ensure documents are filed, tagged, and current.
• Coordinate meeting logistics for LP calls, portfolio reviews, and investment team meetings, including agenda prep and follow-ups.
• Manage signature workflows, NDA tracking, and document execution across counter parties.
• Triage the IR inbox and flag time-sensitive items to the appropriate partner.

• Own a short list of defined projects end-to-end: scope, timeline, stakeholders, and delivery.
• Drive status updates across the team — know what is moving, what is stuck, and what needs a decision.
• Translate ambiguous requests into concrete next steps and keep work streams unblocked while the role is on leave.
• Document recurring processes so the team has a clean handoff at the end of the engagement.

• Direct exposure to how a venture fund actually operates — across investment, LP, and portfolio sides.
• A real seat at the table: this is coverage work, not shadowing. Your output ships.
• Mentorship and end-of-engagement feedback geared toward post-MBA / post-grad recruiting.
• A defined set of deliverables you can point to in interviews and full-time recruiting.
