THE ROLE

The primary focus of our Summer Software Investing Analyst program is to gain experience sourcing and assessing potential investment opportunities for Alpine’s international software strategy. This entails proactively identifying companies and sectors for Alpine to invest; outreaching to and communicating with founders and management teams; identifying key trends and risks of a company and sector; and highlighting attractive areas for investment. As the deal processes “go live,” the Software Investing Summer Analysts will play a critical role on the deal team in assisting with various components of the deal process, including building and analyzing financial models, participating in on-site company visits, and conducting diligence meetings with business executives.
Interns are an integral part of our teams at Alpine. We strongly believe in giving interns ownership and responsibility early on so that they can maximize their learning and be ready to meaningfully contribute to the team.
