Learning in Venture Capital

Catalog description

The New Orleans BioFund (NOBF) has created an educational program that brings highly driven Tulane medical students interested in VC directly into the fund’s day to day operations. The program will provide students with firsthand experience with the southern VC region. Students will leave with the fundamental skills and knowledge in VC, specifically in fields related to healthcare. Tulane medical students have previously interned at NOBF and reported high satisfaction. Students will work a minimum of 60 hours over the T4 year at the NOBF office, located in the New Orleans BioInnovation Center (NOBIC). Students, the NOBF Managing Director and Analyst will work together on a flexible schedule. Students will be assigned to work on projects most of which will be current investment deals the fund is working on. Students will track their deals from due diligence to deal closing. NOBF associates will assign tasks, answer questions, and provide guidance to each student. Students will research, draft memos, and give presentations periodically to demonstrate their work. NOBF associates will provide targeted feedback to ensure by the end of the term students are comfortable with the basics of VC.
