Summer in VC with SoftBank Capital

We are looking to hire one undergrad and one MBA to work at SoftBank Capital for eight weeks this summer as paid interns in our office in Newton, MA.

Our fund is focused on investment opportunities in ubiquitous, social computing. We have been making early stage investments since 1995 in companies such as Yahoo!, E*Trade, GSI Commerce, The Huffington Post, Sermo, Buddy Media and BuzzFeed. To learn more, visit www.softbank.com.

We are looking for candidates with a passionate interest in digital media, who can demonstrate the base knowledge and initiative required to contribute to the team over a relatively short time frame. Interns would assist with the following:

• Review of the industry landscape
• Identifying and assessing potential investment opportunities
• Helping support existing portfolio companies

To apply, please email contactus@softbank.com with a succinct summary of your: 

• Online Presence - Blog, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.
• Digital Portfolio - Describe your favorite sites, apps and devices
• Digital Outlook - Tell us what are the most popular, emerging digital services amongst your peers, and which ones you think have mainstream, commercial potential

We have a preference for undergrads completing their junior year and MBAs completing their first year. The deadline for applications is April 30.
