D.CAMP

At D.CAMP, I worked as an investment team intern reviewing early-stage startups across multiple industries.

For six months, I sat in rooms listening to founders explain why their products mattered, how markets would evolve, and why users would eventually care.

Some teams had impressive technology but weak timing. Some had strong traction but unclear business models. Some had excellent storytelling covering surprisingly fragile products.

It was probably my first exposure to the gap between building a product, growing a product, and building a sustainable business.

I supported startup sourcing, investment reviews, market research, and pitch analysis while learning how investors evaluate markets, incentives, scalability, and founder conviction.

That experience changed the way I thought about product decisions.

After D.CAMP, I stopped seeing products as isolated features. I started seeing them as systems shaped by users, markets, incentives, timing, and business models.
