What You’ll Do

As an analyst, you’ll be involved in the full life cycle of an investment: from due diligence and the decision to invest, to helping our portfolio companies grow, all the way through exit.

Funding technology scale-ups is not easy work. It is a competitive environment where many firms are trying to find their next “winner.” In this role, you will have the opportunity to diligence tech companies while also working alongside founders and employees of Insight’s existing portfolio to drive value and help solve some of their most difficult strategic problems.

(i) Commercial Diligence: You will be on the front lines from day one collaborating with Investment Teams to drive sound decisions. You will work with a small team (3-5 members) to evaluate potential investments, gathering and analyzing information that forms the basis of Insight’s investment thesis. You will learn how to validate (or refute) a thesis and clearly communicate both your quantitative and qualitative findings in memos and business meetings. Each diligence is different, but some common responsibilities include:

Building market sizing models and conducting primary and secondary market research

Interviewing a company’s customers, pipeline, channel partners, or employees to gain a deep understanding of competitive positioning

Modeling and benchmarking company financials

Analyzing data in customer transaction databases

Designing, launching, and analyzing customer surveys

(ii) Portfolio Strategy: you will work closely with Insight’s portfolio companies, Operating Partners, and experts within Onsite’s Centers of Excellence to assist companies in their scaleup journey. Onsite’s Centers of Excellence support companies with advice targeted at critical functional areas of a startup (Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, Product & Tech, Business Development, and Talent), while operating partners leverage industry experience to collaborate with CEOs and help activate their ambitious goals. Each portfolio engagement is unique though a typical project might look like:

Building operating models to help leadership understand the impact of strategic initiatives

Evaluating potential M&A targets and assisting with effective post-merger integration

Working alongside COE’s to provide data-driven recommendations to the leaders of the sales marketing, sales, and customer success organizations

Partnering closely with portfolio companies to prepare them for a successful exit from Insight’s portfolio, supporting everything from market pitch to data preparation

Insight has a strong tradition of promoting from within, but Insight Onsite alumni have gone on to start companies, run businesses, become investors, or attend graduate school.
