There is none. None! Go somewhere else.

Pros

- Small team in which each member has a different area of expertise and depth of knowledge; everyone was incredibly helpful and interested in my long-term development - Very wide exposure as an intern, with day-to-day roles ranging from leading founder screening calls, attending pitches and demo days, performing deep dives on topics of interest and conducting due diligence, to organising and hosting Female Founder Office Hours - Opportunity to create wide network of other UK-based and global VCs - Very fun working environment and atmosphere in the office - Great office space + building is also home to some of the portfolio founders, so a lot of opportunity to work closely with them - Opportunity to work with one of the best (and mission-driven) teams in UK tech

Cons

- Lockdown / remote work led to cancellation of in-person pitch events and demo days
