Intern

About the Role

The SilverX Fund is seeking an Intern to work directly with the investment team on deal sourcing and evaluation. This role offers hands-on exposure to how a deep tech fund screens and diligences companies, from initial deck review to structured recommendations across various sectors. This is a research- and judgment-heavy role focused on forming and defending views on technical and market defensibility.

Key Responsibilities

• Source and triage inbound and outbound deal flow.
• Maintain and update the deal pipeline (CRM/tracker) as companies progress.
• Conduct first-pass screens on companies against SilverX's evaluation framework, assessing technical/IP defensibility, market timing, return potential, and founder quality.
• Build company explainers and sector primers covering company offerings, technology, competitive landscape, and market timing.
• Support market mapping and sector research to refine investment theses.
• Prepare briefing notes and screening summaries for investment committee discussions.
• Assist in refining internal deal-scoring frameworks and screening workflows.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Spreadsheets and standard research tools.
• Comfort learning new tools quickly.

Qualifications

• Final-year student or recent graduate in engineering, sciences, or a related technical field.
• Strong technical/quantitative undergraduate background with an interest in finance, or vice versa.
• Genuine curiosity about deep tech and hard-tech sectors.
• Strong research and writing skills.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and self-directed work.
• Prior exposure to venture capital, consulting, equity research, or a deep tech startup is a plus, not a requirement.
