Do you want experience that helps you build a stronger VC resume and develop real venture-style research skills? The WSO Venture Capital Internship is a highly selective, off-cycle virtual internship designed to help top students gain hands-on experience through structured training and venture-focused work.

We screen thousands of students globally to identify high-potential talent. Strong interns that are screened will have their profiles shared with our network of partner organizations, including:

• micro-VC funds
• emerging managers
• accelerators / incubators

Only a limited number of interns are selected each quarter per geographic region, ensuring a high-impact experience and meaningful mentorship.

The internship begins with two weeks of structured training designed to build the core skills used in venture investing, including:

• VC fund structures and economics
• Venture roles and sourcing workflows
• SAFEs, convertible notes, and preferred equity
• Term sheets (control + economics) and cap table modeling basics
• Startup diligence fundamentals (market, product, team, traction)
• Exit dynamics and portfolio math

Top candidates who pass the training assessments advance to placement.

After training, interns work directly with our partner network (micro-VCs, venture studios, accelerators, and angel syndicates) to support:

• deal flow and sourcing
• market mapping and thesis research
• startup evaluations and deal memos
• diligence support and IC-prep style briefs

This program is ideal for:

• Highly motivated students (freshmen/sophomores not limited)
• Candidates exploring venture capital, startups, growth equity, or investing
• Strong researchers and analytical thinkers
• Students who want an edge in competitive recruiting
• Quick learners who can write clearly and work independently

No prior VC experience is required... performance in assessments and training matters most.

• Location: Remote
• Duration: 10 weeks (virtual)
• Compensation: Unpaid (certificate + referral letter upon successful completion)
