As an Investment Associate at Hurt Family Investments, I had the privilege of contributing to a dynamic family office specializing in seed investments within the technology sector. During my internship, I actively participated in conducting comprehensive market research, vetting investment opportunities, evaluating entrepreneurs, and performing due diligence on potential target companies.

While pursuing my MBA, I had the opportunity to join the G51 Venture Scholars Program as a Venture Scholar. Through the program I gained experience in the startup and venture capital spaces through engaging in the following key activities:• Participated in cross-sector review of investment opportunities• Identified and evaluated early-stage startups for G51 partners, EIRS and advisors following investment due diligence formats• Conducted research on prospective investments and initiated communications between G51 and the startup under review• Pitched during bi-weekly “Shark Tank” deal reviews with a nationwide cohort of MBA students
