My name is Joséphine, I’m 23 years old and I freshly graduated from Louvain School of Management where I studied Management with a specialisation in Corporate Finance. Before that, I decided to pursue a Bachelor’s degree at ICHEC for its international nature.

Before coming to MyMicroInvest, I was a student so my life revolved around classes, trips, parties and hockey, like every other 23 year old. And no, I don’t miss it…yet.

The first time I heard about MyMicroInvest was through word of mouth. I knew someone who knew someone who had an internship there and loved it. So, I immediately jumped at the opportunity when I heard they were looking for a Sales intern. Shortly after I was part of the team.

I decided to apply for a job at MyMicroInvest for a thousand reasons. First, the activity of the company: helping start-ups grow while being in a stimulating and innovative environment. What also motivated me was the awesome team behind the platform. During my internship, we also gave me a lot of time and responsibilities. I learned so much in 3 months so I was curious to experience it on a longer term.

As of three weeks ago, I am officially part of the Entrepreneur Success Agents’ team. In other words, I meet up with talented entrepreneurs and try to understand how MyMicroInvest can help them and then, I present them to our selection committee. I am also their contact person during their whole partnership with MyMicroInvest. So it’s a very dynamic job that enables me to meet a lot of interesting people.

Personally, I was dreading the beginning of my internship, like most students. After a week at MyMicroInvest, I quickly understood that I would really like it here and that I wasn’t going to spend my days at the copy machine (by the way, I never even used the printer while I was interning). My first impressions (no, not the paper ones) are still the same today: a great atmosphere and a welcoming team, motivated and super invested in every task. What else do you need? ;)
