Summer Analysts join our investment team in Chapel Hill and work on live opportunities across our fund, direct, and secondary strategies, contributing analysis that informs actual investment decisions.

• A view across the entire venture ecosystem. Because TrueBridge partners with many of the leading venture and seed managers and also invests directly in companies, Summer Analysts see a cross-section of the venture market that few internships can offer.
• Real responsibility from day one. On a small, collaborative team, Summer Analysts own meaningful workstreams, sit in on investment team meetings, and see how investment decisions are made.
• Access to top investors and companies. Summer Analysts meet with top-tier venture firms and founders and gain exposure to our work with Forbes on the Midas List and Next Billion-Dollar Startups.
• Mentorship and training. Each Summer Analyst is paired with a mentor on the investment team and completes a structured training curriculum on venture capital fundamentals.
