GOBI INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME

The Gobi Internship Programme provides selected candidates with exposure across multiple functions within the firm, reflecting the integrated nature of a venture platform. Interns may work with teams spanning:

• Investment
• Research and market intelligence
• Marketing and communications
• Sustainability and ESG
• Operations and administration
• Human resources and platform support

This cross-functional exposure provides insight into how investment decisions are sourced, evaluated, communicated, structured, and supported across diverse markets. The programme is designed to build institutional awareness and capital literacy, rather than short-term transactional experience.

WHAT INTERNS CONTRIBUTE TO

Depending on placement and regional priorities, interns may support:

• Sector research and market mapping
• Investment evaluation and competitive analysis
• Portfolio monitoring and reporting
• Content development and communications initiatives
• ESG and sustainability research
• Operational and platform support projects
• Internal process improvement and coordination

Assignments emphasise analytical rigour, clarity, and accountability.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

The programme develops:

• Structured analytical and critical thinking
• Understanding of venture capital processes across markets
• Appreciation of governance and sustainability considerations
• Exposure to cross-border platform coordination
• Professional discipline within an institutional environment

Interns gain insight into how capital operates across investment, communications, research, and operational functions in emerging ecosystems.

WHO SHOULD APPLY

The programme is suited to individuals who demonstrate:

• Strong academic performance
• Intellectual curiosity grounded in evidence
• Interest in venture capital, innovation, or regional market development
• Capacity for disciplined, independent work
• Clear written and analytical communication

Candidates from diverse academic backgrounds are considered. Prior venture capital experience is not required.

PROGRAMME FORMAT

Internships are offered on a limited basis across Gobi’s regional offices. Duration and structure vary depending on placement and academic schedules.

Participation does not guarantee future employment. However, the firm maintains long-term relationships with individuals who demonstrate strong alignment with its operating model and standards.

APPLICATION PROCESS

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, subject to programme capacity. Shortlisted candidates may be invited to interview with relevant team members.
