VC Internship @ RevTech Ventures in Dallas, TX

We are looking for two outstanding interns ecstatic to dive headfirst into the world of venture capital. Below are the available two paid internship descriptions and responsibilities for summer 2020; both will report to the Director of Business Development. Applications must be submitted by 3/25/2020.

Application Information

Firm Description

RevTech Ventures is a seed-stage venture capital fund dedicated to helping the retail industry adapt in the age of Amazon. We do this by attracting, funding, mentoring, and connecting top-tier retail and technology innovators with talent, customers, and investors. While constituting only about 5% of North American retail sales market share today, Amazon commands nearly half the sector’s R&D and innovation budget, leaving the other 95% playing catch up. We love helping our entrepreneurs catalyze growth in this industry for the other 95% – and have a lot of fun doing it!
