OPER8 Second Year Undergraduate, BA Law with Legal studies in Europe, Remote working Work Projects Oper8r is a training ground for emerging managers and small GPs. The platform aims to educate casual investors with the knowledge required to become professional investors. My task was to write an article and develop a booklet summarising and making the LPA negotiating documents more accessible to emerging managers. I also gave tips and hints as to how one could make their LPA more LP-friendly and ESGfriendly to achieve LP/GP alignment. Daily Life I started my work at 9am in the morning and stopped for an 1 hour lunch break. I then continued on with work if it was a busy day or went out and spent some time with friends. About 2x a week I would have a check-in meeting with the CEO in the afternoon and on days when I did not, I would attend webinars related to my project or conduct informal interviews with VC and legal professionals to help with my project. I then always ended work around 6pm to simulate an office environment. Lasting Impressions I really enjoyed my experience. I was unaware of the interesting complexities and rewarding problem solving aspects of VC which has now made me consider this to be a viable career path for me! What practical advice would you give to future interns? Do some preliminary reading about US-style VCs and come prepared to every check-in meeting with a list of questions and connections that you want to make - take charge of the internship rather than passively going with the flow.
