Investor Relations and Capital Formation Internship | Undergraduate or Graduate - Summer 2027

ABOUT THE ROLE: Endeavor Catalyst is Endeavor's rules-based co-investment fund, investing alongside the world's leading founders in markets most global investors overlook. Our investors include sovereign funds, development finance institutions, global corporates, banks and family offices across five continents, and we run those relationships as long-term partnerships rather than as accounts to be reported to. This internship sits inside that work, on the small global team responsible for raising and managing the fund's institutional capital. We are looking for a curious, analytical and clear-writing intern to spend the summer on one substantial question: as we plan the next phase of our capital base, who should our most important partners be, what should they get from us, and how do we prove that we deliver it. You will be given a real strategic question, a lot of access, and close guidance while you work out the answer. You will research how the best institutional investors in the world service their largest partners, analyse and score candidate institutions across geographies, and help turn what we offer our investors into something standard, documented and repeatable. The output goes to senior leadership and informs decisions the firm is actively making. You will work directly with a Global VP and Managing Director on the investor relations team throughout the summer, with weekly one-to-one time and a defined piece of work every few weeks. By the end of the internship you will have built a body of original research and analysis on how global venture capital raises and keeps institutional capital, a view of entrepreneurship across 45+ markets, and exposure to a part of the industry that is normally closed to anyone outside the team. This internship is ideal for someone excited by venture capital, emerging markets and institutional investing, who wants real responsibility and senior visibility inside a mission-driven organization. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Responsibility #1: Benchmark how the world's leading investors service their most important partners Research how top venture funds, development finance institutions and fund-of-funds define, structure and service their largest investors. Gather evidence from public sources and from conversations, and form a point of view we can act on. Responsibility #2: Analyse and prioritise candidate institutions across markets Build and score candidate lists of institutional investors and family offices across geographies, drawing on public research and on the Endeavor network, and make the case for which are worth pursuing and why. Responsibility #3: Help standardise what we offer our investors Work with teams across Endeavor to document what each part of our investor offering involves, what it takes to deliver, and how it should be described. Turn a set of practices into something clear, consistent and repeatable. Responsibility #4: Build the evidence base and help design how we report it Reconstruct what we have delivered to our investors over recent years, organise it into something we can show, and help shape what we report to them and on what cadence. The precise scope is confirmed at the start of the internship, based on where the team's priorities sit at that point. Interns on this team should expect their work to evolve with a live fundraising and investor relations agenda, which is part of what makes the summer interesting.
