About the team + role

We are building an elite team, applying frontier technologies to the world's biggest financial problems. We're looking for bold thinkers. Sharp problem-solvers. Builders who are wired to make an impact. Robinhood isn't a place for complacency, it's where ambitious people do the best work of their careers. We're a high-performing, fast-moving team with ethics at the center of everything we do. Expectations are high, and so are the rewards.

Robinhood Ventures' mission is to build one of the best venture capital platforms in the world and make it accessible to investors everywhere. Through our publicly-traded funds in Robinhood Ventures Fund I and Robinhood Ventures Fund II we've already invested in some of the best private companies in the world like OpenAI, Databricks, Ramp, and more - and we're just getting started.

As an Investment Intern in Robinhood Ventures you will be a core part of our lean team. You will research, evaluate, and support investments across the Robinhood Ventures platform, with a focus on late-stage investments.

This role is based in our Menlo Park, CA office with in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week.

At Robinhood, we believe in the power of in-person work to accelerate progress, spark innovation, and strengthen community. Our office experience is intentional, energizing, and designed to fully support high-performing teams.

What you'll do

• Research and sourcing - You'll research markets and sectors that you believe we should be paying attention to, and then identify the key companies in them that Robinhood Ventures needs to meet.
• Investment evaluation - You'll be a key part of the deal team for investments we evaluate. You'll own core diligence workstreams like the financial model, competitive analysis, and help shape investment theses.
• Platform building - You'll work with teams across Product, Operations, Marketing, Legal, and more to help build experiences in the Robinhood app to further differentiate Robinhood Ventures for both retail investors and portfolio companies.

What you bring

• Currently enrolled in a full-time MBA program
• Prior experience in investment banking, private equity, or finance at a high-growth company, with fluency in financial modeling, valuation analysis, and market research; late-stage investing or venture capital experience is a plus
• Intellectual curiosity and a demonstrated interest in emerging technologies and the private companies driving them - you proactively form opinions on key trends and companies
• An existing network in the startup ecosystem, or the drive to build one, that can help Robinhood Ventures identify and connect with promising companies
• Proven ability to work independently in lean, high-output environments, with experience collaborating across cross-functional teams

What we offer

• Market competitive compensation structure
• Quarterly lifestyle wallet for personal wellness, learning and development, and more
• Access to the best AI tools on the market and continuous AI skill-building for every employee, technical or not
• Time away including company holidays, paid time off, and sick time
• Lively office environment with catered meals, fully stocked kitchens, and geo-specific commuter benefits

Base pay for the successful applicant will depend on a variety of job-related factors, which may include education, training, experience, location, business needs, or market demands.
