Blake Gibson
@blakegibson
Finance professional with expertise in venture capital and analysis.
What I'm looking for
I am a finance professional with a strong background in venture capital and private equity analysis. Currently, I serve as an Associate at Cowles Ventures, where I conduct due diligence and analysis on early-stage portfolio companies. My role involves reviewing and recommending inbound deals, creating pro forma cap tables, and advising on strategic sessions for key portfolio companies. My experience has allowed me to develop significant networking skills through citywide events.
Previously, I interned at Standish Management, where I compiled quarterly reports for venture funds managing over $35 million in assets under management. I also gained valuable insights into macroeconomic trends during my internship at WealthMark LLC, where I conducted in-depth analyses of macro drivers and compiled reports on crypto and fintech. My leadership experience as President of the Finance Management Association has further honed my communication and organizational skills, enabling me to coordinate outreach with business professionals and manage team events effectively.
