LEARNING OUTCOMES
This internship explores fundamental analysis, a method of measuring a public security’s value by assessing qualitative and quantitative factors. Through lectures, readings, and interactive discussions, we will explore the intrinsic value of a security.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Interns will learn effective techniques to analyze financial news, the state of the economy, and assess the financial markets

- Interns will gain exposure to the professional field of equity research and practice the techniques required in future internship interviews
EXPECTATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
The internship will consist of six workshops over Zoom – each ranging from 60 minutes to 90 minutes scheduled over the course of Summer 2022. We will strive to find a time that works for everyone in the internship (expected size is six interns).
Participation and Attendance: Interns are expected to come to the Zoom sessions ready to share and discuss a piece of financial news each time. Attendance is essential (and mandatory) to truly learn and apply the concepts.
Investment Memorandum and Presentation: Interns will be divided in groups with each group completing an investment presentation. Each group will present at least twice during the internship. All group members must participate in the development of the investment presentation. After the first presentation, I will provide edits and suggestions and will ask questions which will enable the interns to dive deeper into the company analysis. This will help the interns improve their work for the final presentation. In addition, I will share numerous resources for interns to continue learning about the financial markets and be ready to perform equity research analysis on their own. All the interns are expected to pose questions to the presenters and help them think of areas that can be improved.
To be considered for this internship, you must submit your resume and one paragraph that provides the description of a company that you are interested in. The description has to be in your own words in plain English. A 10-year old should be able to understand what the company does after reading your description. The description should be followed by three bullet points that summarizes why you like this company.
Here is an example:
Spotify is one of the world's largest music streaming service providers, with over 366 million total listeners. The firm monetizes its users through both a paid premium subscription model and an ad-supported model. Spotify is a popular source for keeping up-to-date with music.
I like the company because:
- Is a market leader
- They invest in innovation (for example, machine learning algorithms that offer recommendations)
- Spotify works on all hardware (seamless experience)

Gideon Strategic Partners
Overview: Gideon Strategic Partners, like most successful investment advisory firms, follows a core satellite investment philosophy.
These fundamental principles guide the investment decisions we help our clients make:
- Investments are used to achieve long-term goals, while savings are used for short-term goals
- Asset allocation with diversification among stock, bond and other markets reduces risk
- Investors should know and understand how investments fit into their portfolios and why they own particular assets
- Minimizing investment costs is crucial for long-term success
- An investor’s primary decisions involve choosing a mix of assets to be held in a portfolio, not the selection of individual investments
- Risk is multi-dimensional; investors should weigh “shortfall risk”—the possibility that a portfolio may not meet long-term financial goals—against “market risk,”—the reality that returns may fluctuate
- Market-timing and performance-chasing are not part of a winning strategy
- Future long-term returns are expected to be very similar to historical returns for various asset classes and subclasses
Responsibilities:
- Run hypothetical portfolios for high net worth clients
- Run asset allocation analysis for current client accounts
- Develop spreadsheets to monitor and track client performance
- Analyze investment options and alternative investments for current prospective clients
- Build decks for new and existing clients
- Use our CRMs to file and track client/ prospect communication (Wealthbox, Pipedrive)
- Administrative duties

How the Bloom Box Program was born:
When COIVD-19 hit, we were suddenly in a position where all of our 2020 event work was canceled or postponed. This was 80% of our revenue stream so one can only imagine how this impacted our small business. What we quickly learned was that the entire "food chain" of our beloved floral world was deeply impacted as well. When L.A. shut down back in March, all of our growers were in the middle of their abundant spring season, and without consumers to deliver to, they were forced to dump all of their product. It was devastating. So we at LILLA BELLO were determined to figure out a way to support those farms, keep ourselves working, and continue to bring beautiful blooms to our clients.
Whats a Bloom Box?
With everybody now staying (stuck) at home, we knew that receiving fresh flowers would serve as an amazing emotional pick-me-up. But we went a step farther. In every bloom box, we have curated a selection of cut stems, straight from the small farms. They have not been cleaned or conditioned yet, they are exactly as we would receive them from the farms. Along with your box, you have access to our complimentary tutorial videos which teach you how to clean and condition your blooms. So now, not only do you have beautiful flowers, but you also have an "at-home project" that people can do on their own or with their family. The ultimate self-care project! Most recipients are Bloom box members with a weekly, bi-monthly or monthly subscription. There are 3 size options. Flower selection changes every week.
Internship Description:
As an intern of our Bloom Box Program, you will be helping us sort and separate the bundles of flowers for each given week, re-wrap them in our signature wrapping, and box them up for our weekly delivery. You will learn about the different flower specimens, the seasonality of flowers, where they grown and how they perform. You will also need to flex your administrative skills, as organization is a must. Different customers have different size boxes, some are delivered locally and some are packed for shipping. We will need you to make sure everything is sorted perfectly.
Days and Hours:
We deliver Bloom Boxes every Wednesday. Therefore, the prep work is on Tuesday mornings, shipped boxes are sent out on Tuesday at 12n, and loading up for our local deliveries is on Wednesday mornings. The last hour of the day is for clean up.

18th Street Arts Center
Overview: Founded as a non-profit in 1988, 18th Street Arts Center has a long history as a space for artists. It originally served as studio space for a group of feminist artists in the 1970s – 80s, including Susanna Bixby Dakin (who ran for President in 1984), Judy Chicago, Barbara T. Smith, Linda Frye Burnham, and others. It became a hub for the West Coast arm of ACT-UP, an activist grassroots organization addressing the AIDS crisis, and was home to three of the NEA Four (Tim Miller, John Fleck, and Holly Hughes). It also grew out of early performance art, and was the site of publication for High Performance Magazine, and later, Highways Performance Space (still located on the 18th Street Arts Center campus). Once 18th Street incorporated as a non-profit, it became an artist residency program with a wide range of public programs and exhibitions.
With performance art, activism, social justice, feminism, and the gay rights movements in its DNA since the beginning, 18th Street has continued to foster and support the work of many of Los Angeles’ most engaging and diverse artists, and has built bridges to like-minded artist communities around the globe.
18th Street provides a hub for contemporary art through three program areas that reflect its mission:
1) A three-tiered Residency Program that fosters inter-cultural collaboration, dialogue, diplomacy through art, and mentorship and networking for artists;
2) A Public Events and Exhibition Program that focuses on engaging the public and revealing the art-making process through exhibitions, events, talks, publications and other opportunities;
3) And a robust Community Engagement Program (including our Arts Learning Lab series and Culture Mapping 90404 local oral history project), which seeks to center traditionally decentered voices and challenge our notions of “expertise,” providing art-making opportunities and a platforms for the vibrant art practices all around us.
Responsibilities: We are looking for motivated, creative, and enthusiastic interns with strong writing, visual, and organizational abilities to help support and share 18th Street Arts Centers exhibitions and programs. Interns will get to work with a small, collaborative staff, with lots of creative freedom and mentor support to pursue your ideas. Working with local and international artists and audiences, interns will learn how to communicate with a broad arts community. The internship provides an excellent opportunity to gain experience in the field of arts administration and to get first-hand experience working with our artists in residence as well as our exhibiting artists, developing exhibitions and public programs, and creating and sustaining an online audience.
Job Requirements: A passion for art. This internship is based in Santa Monica.

De Novo

Overview: De Novo is a predictive recruiting tech startup that uses artificial intelligence to help companies determine which applicants will have the highest likelihood of job success. Companies spend $162B on recruiting software each year only to have 46% of hires fail in 18 months. Resumes are biased, interviews are biased and personality quizzes still require companies to weed out 90% of applicants on their own. Our team has over 75 years of AI and recruiting experience. We are launching this year in the legal industry because law has the highest rate of attrition, has the highest replacement cost per wrong hire and is where our team has existing expertise and client relationships.
In the meantime, we have a cool startup recruiting company, and we can use some interns to help our team grow our brand and sell De Novo.

Tasks would include working with the founder of the company to manage our Instagram account, determining what to post, how to get followers, and determining whether we get any value in promoting ourselves through Facebook or Twitter. Tasks would also include doing research on the most effective marketing strategies and researching whether we want to take advantage of newer social media platforms. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to take ownership of tasks and is interested in social media.
The second intern we are looking for is interested in web design. We are looking for someone with a creative eye to help us visualize our new website. (No coding experience is required, but a familiarity with Wix, Squarespace, Weebly, or a similar website is preferred).
This intern may also work with the founder of the company to design template marketing materials and emails.
This is a great opportunity for an intern to get real, hands-on experience and see how startups work.
Each internship would be located remotely and the time commitment would be 2-3 days per week.

Play 2 Progress
Overview:
We are founded under 3 core beliefs:
We are founded under 3 core beliefs:
applying the science of child development can give all kids a boost
Every child (and every family!) has differences to celebrate and strengths to embrace. At Play 2 Progress, we apply a deep understanding of the science of child development to help kids thrive in all areas of their lives. It could mean improving motor planning and coordination (sometimes tantrums happen when something is just too tough!), building the skills to manage big feelings and be in control of little bodies, or even teaching new moms to play with their babies in ways that boost physical development and promote cognitive learning.
play is the foundation of development
Play is at the core of child development, providing children with an array of learning opportunities. At Play 2 Progress, we create both individualized and group enrichment opportunities in a nurturing, safe, and fun environment where children can flourish. Individual sessions are custom-designed to help kids reach their unique learning goals through effective programs disguised as play sessions. Group sessions are also custom-designed for learning goals – and the group provides opportunities to teach children how to respond to emotions, work effectively in a team, communicate needs and build friendships.
it takes a village
At Play 2 Progress, we support parental goals by creating a shared vision between all members of a child's support network. With open lines of communication between families, teachers, and coaches, we are able to see a complete picture of each child – and to provide consistent support by helping the whole network use tools that enrich the child's development.
Our Story
Play 2 Progress all started with a simple idea.
Allie was finishing her occupational therapy clinicals in Chicago (while living on her best friend's couch) when she came home one day frustrated with the quality of toys available on the market to use in her sessions. There had to be a way to fix it.
It was an exciting idea, but she wasn't quite ready for it - yet. Allie finished her doctorate and began her work as an OT. Not too much later, another problem emerged – parents did not truly understand the science of development. When parenting was new or unexpected, it was scary; it was hard to know where to turn and – too often – the places parents turn are hard-to-understand, overly rigid, or even shaming. She also realized that parents didn't understand what sensory play really was or why it is so important for a child to engage their sensory system starting young.
Allie, who was always the out of the box thinker, wanted to do something more - and after a few serendipitous events, Play 2 Progress was finally born. And of course, Allie never forgot about the toy that first sparked the idea, and P2P’s sustainable and development-based toy line launched just a few years after the P2P doors first opened.
As we build P2P, our guiding light is always to go back to creating an environment that we’d want to raise our own kids within - a place where kids learn and grow through the simple beauty of play, where knowledge empowers and never shames, where parents feel seen, where we honor our kids’ feelings while also acknowledging our own. We are a whole community, and our mission is to help guide families on the messy, beautiful, scary, perfect journey through childhood – because it is a journey and, like any good journey, it will have highs and lows. P2P is here through it all.
Watching Play 2 Progress transform from just a small idea to what it is now has truly been the biggest blessing. It’s truly our privilege to have even a small part in your family’s journey.
Opportunities: Play 2 Progress holds a series of summer camps at their West Hollywood and Studio City locations.

Additional Information
What are ‘science-based targets’?
Science-based targets provide a clearly-defined pathway for companies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, helping prevent the worst impacts of climate change and future-proof business growth. Targets are considered ‘science-based’ if they are in line with what the latest climate science deems necessary to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement – limiting global warming to well-below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C.
What is the purpose of the initiative?
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) mobilizes the private sector to take urgent climate action. By guiding companies in science-based target setting, SBTi is enabling the private sector to tackle global warming while seizing the benefits and boosting their competitiveness in the transition to a zero-carbon economy. The SBTi’s vision is for science-based target setting to become the new normal, creating a thriving economy in harmony with the natural world that sustains us all.
