2027 Summer Investment Analyst

Job Responsibilities (*note: Sourcing venture & private equity businesses is not easy work)

Funding a growth & later stage venture business in the technology space today is not easy work. It is a competitive environment where many firms are trying to find their next “winner.” Insight’s approach is unique, and our Analysts are our front line in interacting with and informing entrepreneurs about the Insight difference. Our Analysts are involved in all stages of the deal process.

Job #1—Find & Connect with Great Companies - Finding great companies may sound easy…it isn’t. You will need to first locate them, ascertain their growth prospects and momentum, and learn about their markets. You will develop investment theses and, over time, develop deal judgement. It will be critical for you to be able to cultivate strong relationships with entrepreneurs and demonstrate the value that Insight provides these companies before, during, and after the fund-raising process.

Get involved with deals - When a deal goes live, you will be exposed to the evaluation process, negotiations, and due diligence. You may also have a role in performing industry and market research, financial modeling, and customer analytics.

Developing investment memos - All the work up to this point comes together in an investment memo which lays out both the risks and merits of a transaction. Here you will learn to present both the qualitative and quantitative analysis of a deal.

Find great M&A targets - Many of our growth and PE investments rely upon successful acquisitions to bolster top-line growth. You will learn how to identify synergistic M&A targets, how these deals might be structured, and how the post-acquisition company might be organized.

Is Insight right for you?

You value being part of a team - Every Summer Analyst will be placed on an investment” pod” with its own personality and investment preferences. You will work as an integrated member learning about the type of companies that make sense for your team and for Insight. Your contribution to your team will be an important criterion in evaluating your success.

You are a skilled communicator. We believe that our Analysts and their outreach is our competitive advantage. Learning how to speak to entrepreneurs, sell them on our organization, and ultimately convince them to work with us is a skill set that will serve you well throughout your entire career…regardless of what you ultimately do! And when you are invited to a meeting you have a real value and contribution based on your existing relationship with the entrepreneur.

You are committed to excellence - Insight has a tradition of hiring the best and the brightest. You will be challenged in a competitive environment to show that you can learn rapidly and that your thinking can evolve. The bar is high, but if you can succeed, you will be rewarded for your contribution.

You aren’t afraid to learn by doing - We will train you and give you what you need to start your journey. But ultimately, you need to be comfortable working independently and being self-motivated. Every interaction internally and externally is an opportunity for you to learn. Analysts appreciate an environment where they are not micromanaged and can chart their own path to success.

You are fascinated by entrepreneurs - If you want to be an entrepreneur, start your own business. But, if you want to figure out what makes a successful business and how to help entrepreneurs win, then Insight could be right for you. Our goal is to find great businesses with great talent and then partner with them to help them succeed.

You are ready to embrace a work hard, play hard mentality - We work hard at Insight. Long hours and demanding work are the norm. But, we also think you should be able to have fun with the people you work with on a daily basis. There is a regular schedule of social events and outings throughout the year, where you will begin to appreciate that it is the people that make Insight so special.

You have a hunger to win - and want to do it the right way. Winning is integral to our culture, and we seek competitive individuals who hate losing. However, we also pride ourselves on being an ethical company and expect the same integrity from everyone on our team. We want great people…no jerks allowed!
