Your internship experience @Winnovart – Quotes from interns
Manit Jindal, 2026 - "I believe that my time at Winnovart has been exactly the way that I needed it to be. Prior to this experience, I was looking for opportunities that would give me exposure to the corporate work environment. Through my time at the company, I have not only gotten exposure to a corporate environment, but I have also gotten exposure to a lot of tools that I didn’t expect to. For example, I have gotten to use Power Automate through the outreach automation assignment. Power Automate was an unexpected tool alongside other corporate tools such as HubSpot, Outlook, and Teams."
Hayden Leddy, 2026 - "My internship time at Winnovart has taught me many skills that will be transferable no matter my future. I have learned how to navigate through databases and locate the sections needed, as well as how to connect with outside companies/investors. My time here has also taught me the behind-the-scenes look at what operations are needed to have a successful and efficient company. The internship has been more than enjoyable, and I have loved working with such a connected team all striving for one goal. I am very thankful for my time in London, and as a part of Winnovart."
Jack Nagler, 2026 - "My time at Winnovart gave me hands-on exposure to the early-stage fundraising process in a way that coursework can't replicate. Working directly on live client campaigns, researching investors, building outreach pipelines, and communicating professionally on behalf of the firm gave me real insight into how investment advisory works in practice. It's been a genuinely valuable experience and one I'd recommend to anyone interested in finance or venture."
Aidan Gerth, 2026 - "My experience at Winnovart has been incredibly fulfilling. I had the opportunity to contribute to a wide range of projects through research, database creation, and platform analysis. Ira and Cristian were both very welcoming from the start, creating a positive and supportive environment. Overall, the experience has been invaluable, and I have learned a great deal."
Kira Kunitake, 2026 - "I’m very grateful for my internship at Winnovart, where I gained hands-on experience across a variety of projects in a short but impactful time. The team was incredibly supportive and collaborative, making the experience both productive and enjoyable. I especially appreciated the guidance from Cristian and Ira, who encouraged independence while always being available for support. Overall, this opportunity allowed me to develop practical skills and gain valuable international work experience."
Noah Snyder, 2026 - "Winnovart gave me my first opportunity to experience an office setting and the demands of professional work. I was able to familiarize myself with office software, outreach techniques, and the basics of our niche in the management consulting sector. These are transferrable skills that I’ll be using at my future positions, consulting or not. Thanks!"
Gavin Johnson, 2026 - "I sincerely appreciate my internship at Winnovart. Over the past 3 months, I have enjoyed working alongside Cristian, Ira, Kira, and Noah. Throughout this time, I have familiarized myself with using pitchbook and HubSpot to conduct investor research and outreach, which was completely new to me heading into the internship. I have also built knowledge surrounding the process of attaining private funding, alongside different public funding initiatives like those offered by the EIC. I also am grateful for the exposure to working in both remote and in person settings the internship has allowed. Christian and Ira were open to any questions I had, and it was great learning from their experience and perspective. I am thankful for the experiences, relationships, and career skills working at Winnovart has provided."
Alex Kalin, 2025 - "Through the time I spent at Winnovart I was met with many challenges and things that I’d never experienced before. Luckily, with the help of Ira I was able to manage my way through them and learn in the process. My excel skills were basic beforehand. Now, after the one and a half months of working with excel almost every day, I feel that my skills are closer to proficient than beginner. Outreaching and building databases were the main components of my everyday tasks. I was able to develop good time management skills to get my work done in a timely fashion, create professional looking databases, and format professional emails. This internship has given me great insight into what a real-world job and day to day work looks like. As I continue my academic and professional career, I’ll be forever grateful for this opportunity that I was given. I truly believe that this will serve as a benchmark for my career, the technical skills as well as the insight into the industry will be something that sticks with me for life. My people and technical skills both improved tremendously in my short time here. I appreciate the hybrid work model; this has allowed me to experience a work environment like no other I’ve experienced before. Thank you for this amazing opportunity!"
James Sively, 2025 - "I am appreciative for my internship at Winnovart. Through my 1 1/2-month internship, although shorter than I would have liked, I still managed to earn hands on experience in various projects. The projects were numerous and so were the smiles as the team was very supportive and kind to me at all times, truly being a collaborative experience. Cristian and Ira were extremely supportive, helping give me the freedom to work on what interested me but also support me with any questions I may have had. I am glad to have worked with this driven team to help all stakeholders and investors in Europe. I am thankful for the time, advice, and opportunity that Winnovart has given me to earn international working experience."
Ryan Luftig, 2025 - "Overall, my experience at Winnovart was very enjoyable and rewarding. I felt very welcomed by Ira and Cristian from the start. I gained valuable experience in outreach, constructing research databases, and performing analyses on the data gathered. This was an amazing experience that I am very grateful for, and I am extremely appreciative of Winnovart for giving me the opportunity."
Braden Daugherty, 2025 - "My internship at Winnovart has been one of the most valuable experiences of my academic and professional journey so far. It encouraged me to step outside of my comfort zone, and dive into financial systems while also developing in a new country. I appreciated the team's willingness to help on tasks that I wasn’t familiar with, and it created a comfortable environment where I was able to ask questions and grow."
Joshua Batra, 2025 - "At first, my experience was underwhelming as I thought that I would be doing things differently than what I had done for my pre-interview task. However, as the weeks went on, everything came together and allowed me to see the value in doing the tasks that I had seen as tideous at the beginning. It was very cool to be immersed in a business sector that I had absolutely no knowledge of prior. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I could have interacted with others and seen other sides of the company than just Ira and Cristian or seen what it was like to be in the client meetings and things like that. Obviously, that was going to be a hard task given the length of the internship, but I am thankful for the experience, nonetheless."
Tyler Larson, 2025 - "I have felt welcome and comfortable at Winnovart throughout the entire experience. While some of the work has been tedious, it has been very interesting to see how all of the assignments connected and were used for a larger purpose. Getting an inside look at how Winnovart analyses and contacts potential recipients of grant-funding/other has been very educational and interesting. "
Aidan Eastman, 2024 - "My overall experience at Winnovart was extremely positive. Both Christian and Ira were very welcoming and gave the other intern and I engaging tasks that were highly relevant to Winnovart’s mission. Interning here has taught me essential business skills that I will continue to utilize in my professional career."
Aditi Tavan, 2024 - "I have learned so much during my short time at Winnovart. Winnovart allowed me to delve deep into research, which is not something we commonly do at university.

Talia Jones, 2024 - "My experience at Winnovart was exceptional.

Doing research on venture capital backed companies has contributed towards my soft skills, gaining industry relevant knowledge, and excel skills. The team at Winnovart guided me every step of the way and I wouldn’t have been successful without them."
Brooke Mizuno, 2024 - "I have really enjoyed working at Winnovart. I have learned so much in the world of financing and consulting.

Maansi Shah, 2024 - "Winnovart has been a great opportunity to understand what consulting is. I was able to take on impactful projects and I didn’t feel like “just an intern”.

Jessica Rocha, 2023 - "Throughout my 10 weeks (about 2 and a half months) in London, working at Winnovart was a surreal and amazing experience.
