An externship with HP Tech Ventures focused on deal sourcing and startup analysis in emerging technology sectors.
The externship taught methods for sourcing and evaluating early-stage tech startups, working from an investment thesis through initial screening and memo drafting. The work reviewed HP Tech Ventures' stated investment areas and applied those criteria to a focused sector choice. Deliverables included an initial analysis tied to the fund's thesis.
I sourced three startups aligned to a chosen Applications focus, documented each with URLs, and selected Aslan (aslanprotects.com) to advance into due diligence.
