Family Atmosphere - werkgeversreview Intern bij OneValley

Team, learning opportunity, management, work-life balance

Space (accelerators & incubators) is challenging and niche

My experience at GSVlabs was priceless. During the months I was interning there I dove right in the “Silicon Valley Mindset”. My responsibilities were mostly related to Biz Dev, but even though, I had the opportunity to learn (a lot) about lean startup approaches, raising from VC’s, product development and tech trends like A.I. and Machine Learning (from really big players in the field). The closeness to GSV Capital also helped me to get some pretty good notions about the venture capital world. On the top of that I also had countless activities sponsored by the company, such as indoor climbing, Soul Cycle, Karting, a day at Six Flags and a weekend in a mansion at Lake Tahoe. The wide range of internal events were essential to strongly expand my network. GSVlabs has a really diverse workspace, I'd say that at least 50% of the interns were international students. The familiar environment made the farewell quite hard. It was definitely an unforgettable summer.

- Sometimes the amount of work was a little overwhelming; I had to work on weekends a couple times. - The rent is absurd in the Bay Area.
