Most intern programs teach you how to be an EA. Ours teaches you how to spot unicorns. Ours teaches you how to add deep value from day one. Our summer interns just presented their capstone projects and finished out a summer: 📞  Handling 200+ founder calls ✍️ Writing 70+ investment memos 📌 Pushing 11 companies to IC (four of those deep dives turned into actual investments including Kascaid, Verobotics, Autolane, and one more in stealth) 🔨 Building 9 internal AI-enabled apps from scratch that we're still using daily including: → An automated, AI-enabled Airtable setup finally tamed our deal flow inbox → A PitchDeck GPT that now sends founders instant, personalized feedback → A DraperDraft GPT with standardized templates that helped us generate 70+ memos in record time (always with human in the loop) → A comprehensive ecosystem map showing us 15,000+ contacts from investors to founders to expert advisors that we have warm connections to. 🌏 Mapping out 10+ verticals (everything from dual-use defense to brain-computer interfaces and developed contrarian theses that'll guide our next decade of bets in AI agentic OS, adaptive agriculture tech, and vertical GenAI) @drapervc is faster, smarter, and better armed because of this group of stellar interns. Huge thanks to Thiago Gogola, Angela Yao, Rishabh Surendran, Amy Wang, Bruke Kifle, Boris Chen, Yasmeen Hmaidan, Gavin Chen, Tank Chen, Thaddeus Kennedy, Tye Lubetzky, and William Tydings. The future looks ridiculously bright if this is what gets done in just one summer.(Tim Draper)
