VC fund I interviewed with has 100 AUM. 6 person team. When I started talking with them, they wanted me to do a 3 month internship. Figured it was fine because I was tired of consulting and would get my foot in the door. Now they’re telling me that they just raised another 100M. And they want me to intern for 12 months with no guarantee of anything at the end. Clearly isn’t a money problem with the new fund so……

Take the extra 6months internship and interview at other vc firms. You may be able to swing the 1yr of experience and get into a full time role somewhere else

This. Seems like this firm isn’t professional or serious. Leverage them before they milk you

What are they paying for this “internship”?

like

The way they described it was very much doing analysis and the like. Very little emphasis on deal sourcing.

Take it and leverage the new role into a real associate role

No need to ever promote interns.
They don’t see themselves becoming large enough to need more senior people (that’s my hypothesis)

Is it a 100m fund or 100 aum. Fund size they should be able to pay you and for an early stage fund would be legit. Aum is small

Should have been clearer. 100 AUM before. New fund of 100M. Mostly aimed at growth though. B and beyond with some early stage
