Financial Planning and Analysis

• The Investment Strategy Intern supports the CEO in designing and refining xPL's venture selection criteria, capital structure decisions, and investor-facing strategy.
• You will work at the intersection of venture studio economics, market analysis, and capital markets, producing analysis that directly informs decisions on new venture launches and fundraising structure.
• Research and score candidate industries and verticals against xPL's studio-fit criteria (fragmentation, regulatory complexity, moat depth, buyer concentration)
• Build and maintain venture screening models: market sizing, competitive landscape, unit economics benchmarks
• Support design and refinement of studio-level capital structures, including equity retention models, carry pool mechanics, and fund structuring logic
• Assist in preparing investor-facing materials: fundraise decks, capital layer documentation, and return scenario models (conservative, base, optimistic cases)
• Track and synthesize comparable data from venture studio peers, fund-of-funds structures, and relevant public benchmarks
• Maintain source discipline on all figures used in strategy work: every number must be tagged by origin (confirmed input, industry-standard benchmark, or external reference data) and unsourced figures must be flagged, not assumed
• Draft internal memos and decision briefs that surface open strategic questions requiring CEO or IC decision, rather than resolving ambiguity by assumption
