Uncovering the student startup investment landscape

Your access to the 2024 Student Startup Investment Landscape is here!

Message from the Author

Hello!

It’s been a while. I recently took on an internship at a VC and have discussed the contents of my newsletter with VCs I admire. After some reflection, I found that the graphs being included in my newsletters were insightful but that investors probably don’t care that much about investments made over the last week.

One misconception as a Senior in college, was that I lacked the VC experience to give commentary on trends, or insights I make through my graphs. But, (and big thank you to Vincent Diallo from Interlace Ventures for pointing this out) even without extensive work experience, I do have lived experience across various regions (Southeast Asia, Europe and USA) which give me a unique perspectives on things and, at the end of the day, an opinion is subjective!

So, I’m switching things up and, this will be a work in progress until I find something I really enjoy and that provides value to investors.

That being said, I’ll be experimenting with in-depth written reports on industry verticals as well as writing opinion pieces. I’ll also be working towards finding more interesting investment opportunities to share with investors.
