OPER8

Second Year Undergraduate, BA Law with Legal studies in Europe, Remote working

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.

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.

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!

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.
