Participating in the 5AM Capital stock pitch was an incredible experience. It provided valuable insights into how professionals evaluate stocks and what truly defines a strong investment. During my internship I had the opportunity to create a framework measuring the impact of leadership and culture on long-term growth. What stood out most was the perfect balance of freedom and guidance — warm, collaborative and growth-oriented.
