Department: Management

Grade Mode: Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory

Course Type: Independent Study

Credit Hours: 3

Description: DFJ Mercury has established a formal internship program with the Jones Graduate School of Management (JGSM) at Rice University in order to give students exposure and experience with an early-stage, Houston-based technology venture capital firm. The program will allow students to work directly with DFJ Mercury and a number of its portfolio investments. We believe this program will be beneficial for both DFJ Mercury, by providing us with experienced MBA students to perform deal analysis and review, and the Jones school students, by giving them a chance to apply the knowledge they gain in the classroom to the real world problems which all start-up companies face. The program will also allow great networking opportunities for MBA students interested in venture capital and technology start-ups and could provide students future employment opportunities. Department Permission Required. Repeatable for Credit.
