Goodbye Berlin

My last week at Vireo is in the books! Before returning to the U.S. I met up with some of my family members in Budapest. My mom and grandmother were on a river cruise the last two weeks of my internship. They visited Germany, Austria, Slovenia, and lastly, Hungary! I was lucky enough to meet…

The Incline, the Intern, and the Dancing Clock

Week 7 in the books! Things have still been going well at Vireo Ventures and I’m sad to say I’m coming up on my last week of work. It has been so great to make the connections I have made and to be able to know such wonderful people. This week my office plans to…

In This Week’s Episode: Me vs. The Nesting Doll

Week 6 at Vireo in the books! Things have remained pretty much the same since my last blog. I’m still loving the work that I’m doing and everyone in the office is great. I had a meeting with my supervisor, Lou, about the deep dive I am working on. We had decided that the verticals…

Mosaics, Market Maps, and Motivation

Week 5 at Vireo in the books! Not much has changed in my work since last week. I am still working on deal flow and the green financing deep dive. I have made some serious progress in the deep dive, and the farther I go, the more interested I am in the topic. The first…

From Deal Flow to Dodgeball: A Week of Goals and Growth

Week four at Vireo is in the books! This week felt like my first normal week of work because I wasn’t traveling anywhere, and we didn’t have any events going on with the team. We also established some weekly goals at Vireo; I need to assign 12 companies to each of my team members every…

Let them Eat Cake!!!

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of traveling to Vienna with some of my Pitt affiliates. My roommate, Loghan, had been wanting to plan a trip there because of its musical influence throughout history. While I didn’t know much about the city, I still had an amazing time. Our train ride there was definitely…

Green Energy, Rainbow Streets, and Stroop Waffles!

The past two weeks at Vireo seemed to have flown by. Despite being in Berlin for such a short time, I feel as though I know the city really well. My co-worker, Mischa, asked me how I was adjusting to German culture, and after an awkward pause, I realized that I was adjusting really well….

From PB&Js to Venture Capital: My First Week at Vireo Ventures

This week was my first week at Vireo Ventures. Before going to work I was extremely nervous about meeting everyone because they are all much older than me and at different stages of life. I also had no inclination as to what I would actually be doing once I started my internship. As a finance…

First Day at Vireo Ventures

My first week in Berlin was amazing but also exhausting. When we arrived, we were greeted by our Intrax Program Director, Britta Kallmann. Even though we just landed, Britta made sure to keep us awake by taking us grocery shopping and showing us our neighborhood (fighting off the jet lag was terrible ha-ha). Intrax was…
