We'd Love to Hear From You If You:

• You're an "A player" - or at least an aspiring "A player". Not a "B player" or "C player". Listen to Steve Jobs to understand why. Mention in your application why are you an "A player".
• Are an energetic person with go-getter attitude and willingness to learn new skills and knowledge
• You have extreme attention to detail. You can't let the presentation go out unless all the lines are aligned, all the fonts are the same and margins are kept even.
• Have previous internship experience in fast-paced environments, ideally in a VC, consulting firm, or startup.
• Consider yourself a go-getter who excels in dynamic team environments.

• Open communication. No barriers, just open channels. Transparent and direct exchanges ensure everyone is aligned and moving forward together.
