Internships, jobs and news from venture studios — 12 Jan 2021
It’s 2021 and we’re back! Despite a delayed start to the MIT Spring term, we have a huge serve of venture studio news to kickstart the year, with a particular spotlight on internship opportunities for the summer. We look forward to sharing more of these opportunities in the next month as well as more interviews like Eric Schneider’s internship experience at 25madison.

News
We remain huge fans of GSSN’s research and community. If you haven’t already seen their recent white paper, get the highlights and some fantastic insights from a panel of the co-authors in their ‘Disrupting the Venture Landscape webinar.
It wouldn’t be a new year’s kick-off post with a trends prediction for 2021. (If you predicted all of 2020, you probably don’t need this blog.) Here’s a take from High Alpha on the tech trends for the year.
