Applied for summer internship @ a private equity fund that specializes in Emerging Markets! Just found out they are still in the capital raising process. After they reviewed my application they emailed me a set of questions, this is the last one, and I'm a bit stuck:
How do you envision yourself aiding us in the capital raising process?
Not sure exactly how to attack this one...any suggestions?

i will answer if no one does when i wake up
Deal_mkr has a good second point. Presentation is everything when trying to raise capital. Tell them specific ways in which you can improve the presentation of reports and powerpoints to make them appealing to potential clients.
Thank you for the responses I have had already.
Any other suggestions to add to my response?
find specific examples that fit within this general theme. Your time = cheap. Their time = precious. Any jobs they do which you can do equally well, (proof reading, formatting, fact checking), especially if you have any experience in any field with them would be an efficiency you could afford the business.
Saying you have an extensive list of contacts is good IF you actually do, as if you don't, or are unwilling to use them, you get exposed as a liar early on, which is worse than getting rejected outright imo.

Cold call for them
