Personal VC Investment on Resume?

Alongside my father (I wouldn't mention this part on my resume) I conducted due diligence and made a fairly large series A investment into a startup. I think it would be an interesting thing to talk about in interviews and would tie my resume up very well. I would be able to walk through my thesis and the company very well. How would I include something like this on my resume? Under which section? Or would you guys not recommend including it at all? I'm currently recruiting for IB as a sophomore.

People put their parents' companies as work experience all the time. You could reasonably say you were an intern there. Besides that, if you didn't do enough for your father to say you were an employee then put it under "technical skills & interests."
