What did you do as an intern at this organization?
As an intern, I developed comprehensive quarterly 3-statement financial models and conducted detailed analysis for portfolio companies, enhancing decision-making processes. I also engaged with target companies on diligence calls with C-Suite executives, captured discussion notes, and shared insights with Esplanade Fund principals. I profiled companies focused on the energy transition and emerging cleantech sectors in order to broaden potential investment targets. I also provided daily market news updates and analysis on emerging cleantech sectors to keep Esplanade aware of technological advancements, regulations, and deals. Finally, I worked directly with the Founder and CIO to craft tear sheets, investor presentations, and quarterly letters to ensure clarity and effective communication of financial performance and strategic developments
