Now that my internship and time in Berlin has come to an end, I am reflecting on the entirety of this experience. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to develop my skills in venture capital and work in an extremely interesting environment. I’m also grateful to have had the opportunity to immerse myself in…

Second to Last Week in Berlin
Reflecting on my experience this summer, I would say that German culture defines success in a relatively similar manner to the culture in the United States. Success is seen as getting things done and accomplishing your tasks efficiently and properly. Many people work extremely hard during their work day, but still make time for vacations…
Another Busy Week in Berlin
For me, it has been another busy week at work in Berlin! I was doing a lot of the usual work that I’ve done in the previous weeks, as well as helping prepare for the company’s summer BBQ. This is an event where we host all the investors in the company’s fund, as well as…
Berlin to Munich & Back to Berlin
Last week, for the first few days – Monday through Thursday – I worked from home. Well, actually, I worked from hotel. The majority of my colleagues were at the Intersolar conference in Munich, so I kept busy with my assignments and worked remotely. This was a nice experience for me, as I was able…
Learning in Berlin
Throughout my time in Germany, one of the “soft” skills that I think I’ve developed most has been my ability to network and strike up a conversation with anyone. I’ve gone to numerous networking events on behalf of Vireo, and made a lot of strong connections with people there – from executives at other investment…
Networking in Berlin
This past week, it was the SuperReturn conference in Berlin. SuperReturn is an international conference for venture capital, private equity, private credit, and real asset investors. That conference is primarily for limited partners and general partners, so I didn’t go to the actual event. However, there were over 90 side events based around this conference…
A Busy Week in Berlin
Last weekend, I was able to spend more time exploring Berlin. On Friday night, I went to a club in Berlin with the other students doing internships here. I was skeptical about being out late, but when even my supervisor encouraged me to go along, I decided to join. It was a really fun experience,…
Beach Day in Berlin?
This past week, I began my internship here in Berlin. We had Monday off for a German holiday, which meant last Tuesday was day 1 for me at Vireo. On my way to work that day, I decided to stop at Starbucks and pick up a coffee – as any self-respecting American would do. It…
Berlin in Brief!
Hi everyone! I’m back with an update on my time abroad! This past week, we had German language classes for two hours in the morning every weekday. I can confidently say I know about 15 more words in German than I did going in! Lucky for me, most people speak English as well. That’s another…
