Inception Capital’s internship program is still live on the firm’s website, but a social post says first-round interviews close next week. (inception.capital) (x.com) The careers page describes a 4-6 month internship for students in crypto and artificial intelligence, with full-time and part-time options and locations listed as remote, New York, and San Francisco. It says interns work on either deals or research and receive monthly compensation plus an office-supply stipend. (inception.capital) For research interns, the posted work includes drafting industry reports and building quantitative and qualitative processes to track market changes and new technologies. For deals interns, the page lists due diligence, deal-pipeline monitoring, and sourcing through demo days, hackathons, and ecosystem referrals. (inception.capital) The firm presents the role as direct exposure to a small investment team rather than a large-bank training program. Its careers page says interns collaborate with a senior team member, and past interns quoted by the firm say they joined investment-committee discussions and worked independently on research. (inception.capital) That setup fits how Inception Capital describes its business. The firm says it invests across digital assets and “frontier infrastructure,” runs both a venture fund and a fund of funds, and focuses on connecting founders and investors across Asia-Pacific and Western markets. (inception.capital 1) (inception.capital 2) Inception says research is central to its investment process. On its Ideas page, the firm says it publishes the “frameworks, signals, and cross-border perspectives” that guide decisions across Asia and the West, with recent posts on stablecoins, tokenized stocks, artificial intelligence in financial services, and prediction markets. (inception.capital) The company was launched by David Gan in 2021 after his earlier firm, OP Crypto, rebranded as Inception Capital. TechCrunch reported in January 2024 that the firm had closed a $30 million fund of funds in addition to an existing $50 million Venture Fund I. (inception.capital) (techcrunch.com) For applicants, the practical point is timing: the opportunity appears to remain posted, but the interview window may be narrowing now. Anyone interested in the research track would be applying to a firm that says it wants interns working on crypto, artificial intelligence, and market-mapping from day one.
