This semester I have
been doing an internship for a Venture Capital company in Peru. We have been
developing the venture capital ecosystem in the country, by promoting
entrepreneurship, offering mentoring and training services for aspiring
entrepreneurs, and providing the opportunity for investments in start-ups.
I believe
entrepreneurship is the modern way of creating wealth in people's lives. It is
a way in which people can show their full potential, live their dreams, and
create financial stability. I have learned that people are creative, they are
smart, and some brilliant, but they don't always have the resources to
accomplish all they can do. The Venture capital industry is the key to
producing the monetary resources needed to "kick start" a new
business.
The impact on
society as a whole is huge. Especially in developing countries. The new wave of
interest on start-ups has the power to transition a low income economy into a financially solvent society.
Individual families will have the ability to become more educated and new
generations will enjoy the fruits of opportunity.
My greatest desire
is to help improve the financial stability and level of education in developing
countries. That is my passion in life. I believe that participating in the
Venture Capital industry, whether as a full time job, or as a side activity,
will allow me to contribute to these goals. I have started my adventure in the
venture capital industry this semester, and am seeking for further
opportunities to do so. I am currently in touch with a few different
organizations that allow students to become very involved with this industry so
I hope to become a part of one of these organizations.
