As a lawyer in the making — experiencing what it’s like to work in house, as part of a lean team of lawyers with a can-do attitude that work across all teams of the business to support on a variety of matters.

As someone with a keen interest in entrepreneurship — learning about VC ‘from the inside’ (i.e. the fund’s/ investor’s perspective), negotiating term sheets, navigating and considering fund structures, liaising with founders as well as LPs.
