Midwest Mezzanine Welcomes

Small Business Investing Scholars Program Summer Intern

Midwest Mezzanine is pleased to introduce our new summer intern, Vanessa Bravo, a participant in the Small Business Investing Scholars Program. Vanessa joins us from the University of Iowa’s Tippie College of Business where she is a rising junior studying Finance. She is actively involved in several  school organizations, including Hawkinson Institute of Business Finance, Women in Business, Financial Management Association, InvestHer, BizEdge, and Alpha Kappa Psi.

During her internship, Vanessa will immerse herself in all aspects of our business, including new deal sourcing and reviewing efforts, presentation of new investment opportunities, due diligence support, and active portfolio monitoring.

Launched in 2019, the Small Business Investing Scholars Program is an eight-week initiative that provides top undergraduate students—particularly those interested in careers in finance or private equity—the opportunity to work with participating SBIC firms across the U.S. The program’s goal is to promote diversity and inclusion within the SBIC community. For more information about the program, please visit here. To connect with Vanessa, please find her on LinkedIn here.

We are excited to welcome Vanessa and look forward to the contributions she’ll make this summer.
