Program Overview:

The Orange Grove Bio Senior Associate Program is a year-long unpaid internship program offered to university doctoral students and post-doctoral scholars that gives them substantive training in early-stage biotech diligence and operations. The internship emphasizes soft skill-building, such as leadership and project management, in addition to gaining an understanding of the biotech industry. The Senior Associates are actively involved in core projects, including due diligence, market analysis, presentations, and operating plans at portfolio companies.

Program Purpose:

The goal of the Program is to introduce life science diligence and operations to students through a full immersion program that gives them a substantial and unfiltered experience. It is an important way that Orange Grove Bio helps partner with universities to strengthen their life science ecosystem, which directly benefits the educational prerogatives of the university.

Program Design:

• 1 student will be selected from each partner university, depending on applicant pool

• The Program will run for a calendar year

• Typically, students commit 5-10 hours a week for a substantial educational experience

• Students work directly with the firm’s leadership team, who are life sciences industry veterans with stellar track records of success and decades of experience.

• Students will be assigned to a diligence team to vet early-stage projects and run deeper competitive diligence exercises on select projects under the guidance of an experienced mentor.

• Students are taught the Orange Grove Bio “funnel” methodology of due diligence and gain experience in various analytical methods/tools commonly used in the life sciences business. Students are frequently asked to present their work at team meetings.

• Interns will also complete 6 mentored rotations in a 12-month period, learning about different careers in both scientific operations and business development

• Numerous optional biotech educational experiences including attending virtual presentations and conferences as available, participate in Lunch & Learn Seminars with speakers on a range of relevant topics, or joining the management team for meetings with other companies to learn about advancements across the industry

• Opportunity to collaborate and share knowledge with other Senior Associates from leading research institutions through bi-monthly meetings and optional social events
