| TITLE | Operational Dynamics and Insights into Early-Stage Angel Network working with Venture Capital Firms: An Internship-Based Perspective |
|---|---|
| ABSTRACT | This qualitative case study examines the operational dynamics of an early-stage angel investment network through an internship-based lens, offering practical insights into how deal sourcing, evaluation, and investor coordination function within India’s growing venture capital ecosystem. Using participant observation, task logs, CRM dashboards, and meeting notes, the study documents the structured deal-flow pipeline through which large volumes of startup applications are screened, filtered, and advanced to due diligence and syndication. The findings highlight the importance of standardized evaluation frameworks, rigorous industry research, disciplined data management, and consistent investor communication in shaping early-stage investment decisions. The study also reveals how angel networks act as ecosystem catalysts by pooling capital, strengthening founder credibility, and improving access to early financing. Ethical considerations including confidentiality, governance practices, and emerging regulatory norms further underscore the increasing formalization of India’s private-market environment. Overall, the internship provides evidence of how established venture capital theories manifest in real-world operations while emphasizing the critical role of process discipline and data-driven decision-making in early-stage investing. |
