“I loved the constant drive F-Prime had for solving healthcare’s toughest problems. I also appreciated the mission-driven aspect of the investment process, focusing on clinical outcomes as well as the ROI a company could provide. As someone who has now worked on the VC and hospital side of the table, I am excited to see VC firms like F-Prime pushing the innovation envelope in healthcare and working with hospitals, government, payors, and others to make the healthcare system better for everyone.”
“This internship solidified my aspiration to work within venture capital, because of the dynamic nature of the industry, the intellectual challenge of assessing companies and management teams and the innovative approaches founders are taking to solve complex challenges. I’m looking forward to applying my Masters education to invest in and support entrepreneurs in the tech sector.”
“I primarily worked on a landscaping project where I compiled bispecific assets in development for inflammation and immunology, and identified several promising lead assets for potential investment opportunities. Additionally, I contributed to the scientific due diligence of ongoing deals, led several interviews with key opinion leaders (KOL), and participated in introductory calls with prospective biotech companies. I truly enjoyed the process of identifying the “gold” among the vast assets in development through scientific due diligence and KOL interviews. It was incredibly rewarding to see how my efforts in scientific due diligence contributed to an investment decision.”
“I wanted to explore a career option in the biotech industry for after I finish my PhD. I did a landscaping of Th2 immunity in the central nervous system, attended many intro calls, helped diligence companies of interest, and presented to the team on certain companies or spaces of interest.”
“I learned about F-Prime summer fellowship opportunities through LinkedIn and joined F-Prime as a summer fellow due to my interest in exploring alternative career paths after graduation, as well as my enthusiasm for gene editing and drug delivery. F-Prime has a remarkable portfolio of companies focused on addressing clinical unmet needs with these technologies. I also joined to gain insight into VC’s perspective on the future of next-generation therapies.”
“I mainly worked on the commercial assessment for a new portfolio company. As part of this, I built an epidemiology model of the disease area, assessed potential market dynamics and exit opportunities, and created a revenue forecast. I most enjoyed working with the new portfolio company team – each person had unique expertise that they were happy to share, and I learned so much from them throughout the course of the project.”
“I learned about F-Prime through a family friend. I decided to join as an intern because F-Prime gets to work with amazing biotech startups and help them grow as a business. Additionally, the culture at F-Prime is extremely friendly and everyone at the firm wants to help you be the best version of yourself.”
