Global Founders Capital internship

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone had info about GFC internships (type of work, exposure, hours). Do you think that it will be a good experience for post BB IBD (M&A team) recruiting for VC or growth equity shops in London (GA, Summit...)? Any information is welcome, thank you!

Hard to say as job scope is dependent on your direct supervisor / team you get allocated to. Could be doing anything from deal screening to market research and updates. But in general they adopt a high velocity type of investing (smaller check sizes, move very fast from deal to deal).

Good for getting exposure to VC and the early stage tech ecosystem in europe. In terms of post IB recruiting, not sure but I would guess your actual FT ibd work experience matters a lot more.
