Role Overview

Capital Markets Analysts in venture capital support investment teams by focusing on fundraising strategy, LP engagement, valuation benchmarking, and market intelligence.

• Assist with portfolio company financing analysis, including follow-on rounds and exits

• Build financial and valuation models to support investment and capital allocation decisions

• Prepare materials for investment committees and LP communications

• Track portfolio KPIs, ownership metrics, and capital deployment analytics

• Support secondary transactions, liquidity planning, and exit scenario analysis

• Coordinate with internal teams on capital strategy, reporting, and data management

• Monitor macro, sector, and financing trends impacting venture-backed companies

Ideal Candidate

• Bachelor’s degree in finance, economics, business, accounting, or a related analytical discipline

• Strong interest in venture capital, capital markets, and private investments

• Experience in investment banking, capital markets, investor relations, consulting, or venture internships is helpful

• Solid financial modeling, valuation, and analytical skills

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, particularly for investor-facing work
