VentureMatch’s Weekly Internship Target List (1/15–1/20)
Quick story, before I started making VentureMatch I had a theory that some of the best venture internship opportunities would come from newly raised funds.
My thought is that you’ll get more hands-on experience and potentially gain more vision that you could easily parlay into a larger platform.
Therefore, in addition to VentureMatch’s 1000 undergrad/graduate contacts, I wanted to come out with a free resource that can be immediately be applied.
Below, I’ve listed the latest venture firms that have raised funds, now it’s time for you to make do with this!
**One firm that I couldn’t find the filing for is BlueRun Ventures. This is BlueRun’s sixth go around and I’d highly suggest trying to get into this firm.

Closing Remarks
Form D’s are required after the first 15 days that security is sold. Meaning that the fund might not be closed or they’re simply submitting another form D to oversubscribe the fund. Either way, it’s a great indicator and I believe it to be a good tactic for finding a solid internship.
