Venture Capital undergrad summer internship pay?

I am an undergraduate from a major target and recently received a summer internship offer from a small venture capital firm. However, the pay is really modest, and by modest, I am not comparing to BBs, but to school research program, etc. So I am wondering what's the average pay rate for such an internship? Say it's 8~10 weeks long?
