Freestyle Capital - internship opportunity

Hello Duke student members of the Startup Matchmaker,

If interested in social media and working as an investor in startups, this is a pretty great opportunity for you.
(Fuqua student Jonathan Lee worked there this past year, and young alum Howie Liu worked there as a senior in Pratt)

Especially if you're interested in moving to Silicon Valley.

Freestyle Capital is an entrepreneurial seed-stage investor that backs capital efficient Internet startups. Duke/Fuqua alumnus Josh Felser and his partner Dave Samuel co-founded Spinner.com and Grouper/Crackle and sold them to AOL and Sony for $320mm and $65mm. Since its inception ~18 months ago, Freestyle has invested in 10 companies, one of which has already been acquired for $20mm (6.12x; 690% IRR). Freestyle is looking for an entrepreneurial FY or SY MBA to perform due diligence on potential investment opportunities. For more information, please visit: www.freestylecapital.com

If you are interested, here's the application: 
Please no emails to discuss this opportunity, we're going to do this one through the application alone. 
If there's a next step for you, we'll be in touch.


Howie
