Venture Developer Internship: General Healthtech

WHO ARE WE?

NLC Health Ventures is dedicated to advancing health, making it accessible for everyone. By using entrepreneurship at scale, our unique NLC approach allows us to find inventions, and create and support ventures that have the potential to reach the patient. We identify promising innovations at early TRL stages, pair them with entrepreneurial CEOs and empower them to drive their start-ups from incorporation to exit, emphasising the critical role of attracting investment along the way. With a proven track record of building 100+ ventures in just nine years, we are primed for accelerated growth and impact.

Your role

In this internship, you will work closely together with the General Healthtech team of NLC. You will scout, select and validate high potential innovations with the NLC venture developers. Your primary role will be to support project management and initial evaluation of new opportunities. You will have a wide range of exposure to due diligence activities and opportunity to interact with (medical) professionals, scientists, industry experts as well as medtech partners. Other activities will include market research, competitor analysis, making presentations, business plans, investment proposals, contributing to assignments and internal projects and much more!

Sounds complex? It can be. Luckily, our team of venture building professionals enjoys sharing their knowledge with you and taking up challenges together!
