Since you are interning go and talk to the sales, marketing and business dev teams and ask them questions. As an intern you have the freedom to ask all kinds of questions and no one will really think twice. Just try to get away from the development group when you are asking a lot of the questions because they typically aren't seeing the opportunities only the items presented to them, and many times their presence will keep sales teams from speaking freely.
- aml183 11y agoWe have been keeping a note book, asking people for problems they face, and looking at problems we face. We just don't like any problems that we have discovered. The best idea so far is creating some sort of AngelList for the LP space or a version of Seeking Alpha for the private equity/venture capital community. Nothing worthwhile yet.
- davismwfl 11y agoGreat, keeping the notebook is awesome. Your smart to not just jump on an idea, if you don't like it or don't feel totally energized by it then it isn't a good fit for you. Doesn't mean someone can't do it and be successful, but you likely wouldn't if you aren't totally engaged and super energized. Keep it up and Good luck!
