Anything is possible. I turned down a local VC firm at my nontarget. Just network when the school year start and ask upperclassmen
Yes, have seen freshman students with a VC internship. Though have heard at a junior level almost all VC work is sourcing.
This is very accurate from my experiences and others I know. Once you get into early stage PE/growth equity there is more variety in roles at the junior level though.
When sourcing you still get exposure to the competitors, industry growth, and C-level management. And if you source a deal you can in most cases still follow that deal and see financials, be on calls with mgt.
