Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role involved compiling an excel database of climate tech startups. This required me to liaise with VC/PE firms in order to design the tool in line with their requirements. I also had to connect with the various BNEF teams in order to collect the startups under their coverage. Following, I spent most of my time coding the database on excel and making it as user friendly as possible.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was given almost complete freedom to self-manage my workload as well as the meetings with our clients. Nonetheless, my supervisor and my team leader were always available and happy to help.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
My excel skills improved significantly. Moreover, I had the opportunity to connect with VC Bloomberg clients. This strengthened my interpersonal skills. Moreover, through the weekly analyst meetings I could practice my public speaking skills. Lastly, I acquired a wealth of knowledge about what climate technologies exist and how they work.
