About the Summer Analyst Program

TrueBridge’s Summer Analyst Program is a highly selective 10-week internship for rising seniors who want a real seat at the table in venture capital. 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.

Key Features

• 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.

Key Responsibilities

Investment Analysis

• Evaluate prospective fund, direct, and secondary investments through manager, company, and performance analysis and modeling
• Build financial models and benchmarking analyses used to assess returns, risk and portfolio construction
• Help prepare investment memos and one-page summaries that communicate recommendations to the investment committee

Portfolio Monitoring

• Track the performance of existing fund and direct investments and support portfolio monitoring analysis
• Build and maintain TrueBridge's proprietary data on transactions, valuations and the venture market

Market Research

• Research companies, managers, sectors and new technology themes (e.g. AI Infra, App, Deep Tech) and share what you find with the investment team
• Use AI-native tools to speed up research and analysis
• Take on projects across the investment team, including work on the Forbes Midas List and Next Billion-Dollar Startups

The Ideal Candidate Will Have

• A strong academic record (minimum GPA of 3.5) as a rising junior or senior pursuing a bachelor’s degree
• Demonstrated interest in venture capital and technology through internships, coursework, or extracurriculars in venture capital, private equity, investment banking, or investment management
• Strong financial and analytical skills, including proficiency in Excel and AI-native tools; prior financial modeling experience preferred
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• A self-starter attitude, with the ability to work independently and as part of a team, an entrepreneurial mindset, and a passion for technology and investing
• U.S. work authorization and current residency in, or willingness to relocate to, the Raleigh/Chapel Hill area for the summer
