The Maverick Venture Fund is an early stage venture fund at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. The fund is managed by UNO students under the supervision of the Center for Innovation, Entrepreneurship & Franchising.

As an analyst:

You will gain insights into the world of Venture Capital and Angel investing. You will understand the key principles and concepts necessary to conduct due diligence, calculate investment returns, write term sheets, make investment recommendations and manage the investments made in student, alumni and community ventures.

 

Must be willing to learn and think outside the box.  Open to students of any major.

 

Students with Junior status and three or more semesters remaining in their college education may apply to be an analyst with the venture fund.  Analysts will receive a series of training on the basic operations of seed-stage venture capital.

 

Analysts who complete the semester-long training are eligible to apply for a limited number of positions as fund associates.  Ideally, students become an analyst the second semester of their Junior year, and if promoted to fund associate, serve as an associate throughout their senior year.

 

One credit hour per semester is available, but not required, for students who want to receive it.   One credit hour can be earned as an analyst, and up to two credit hours can be earned by fund associates.  Credits can be for either entrepreneurship (ENTR) or finance (FNBK).
