By design EME is made up of a small team, skilled at identifying and growing great startup companies. There's always so much interesting work that sometimes we like to bring in some extra hands. We've found that bringing in short to mid-term interns to work on targeted projects is a great way for us to apply new thoughts and ideas to challenges, while also guiding and (hopefully) inspiring the next analysts, managers and directors.
This wall is meant as a thank you to all those interns who have supported us along the way and as inspiration for smart, young women and men who are looking to enhance their understanding of venture capital in this exciting frontier market.
