About Denali Growth Partners

Denali Growth Partners is a growth equity firm partnering with exceptional founders building industry-defining companies. We take a thesis-driven approach to investing, combining deep sector expertise with disciplined sourcing to identify opportunities before they become obvious to the market.

At DGP, analysts aren't just supporting deals—they're finding them. We believe sourcing is a skill that can be mastered, and that the analysts who excel at it today become the investment leaders of tomorrow.

About the Role

Denali Growth Partners is seeking exceptional recent graduates to join our structured Analyst Program—a unique opportunity to build a career at the intersection of deal sourcing, market analysis, and investment strategy.

This isn't a traditional analyst role. You'll be on the front lines of dealmaking from day one, learning to identify promising companies, engage with founders, and ultimately source investments that shape our portfolio. Over 2-3 years, you'll progress from sourcing excellence to analytical depth, with a clear pathway to becoming an Associate or pursuing opportunities within our portfolio companies.

What You'll Do

Phase 1: Build Your Sourcing Foundation

Identify and engage with founders and management teams across target sectors
Conduct market mapping and maintain our deal pipeline
Draft opportunity summaries and investment snapshots
Develop thematic expertise aligned with our investment priorities

Phase 2: Bridge Sourcing to Analysis

Deepen sector knowledge and participate in early-stage diligence
Conduct market sizing, competitive benchmarking, and financial modeling
Maintain independent sourcing while supporting deal evaluation

Phase 3: Prepare for Associate-Level Impact

Lead sourcing efforts within assigned industry verticals
Participate end-to-end in live deals, from sourcing to investment committee materials
Mentor incoming analysts and contribute to firm strategy

Who You Are

Recent graduate (Bachelor's or Master's degree) with genuine interest in entrepreneurship and growth-stage investing
Exceptional communicator with strong relationship-building skills
Intellectually curious and comfortable with ambiguity
Results-driven with a strong work ethic and hunger to learn
Educational background in Finance, Economics, Business, Data Science, or related fields is a plus, but not required
Previous internship or project experience in investing, consulting, or startups is valued but not essential

Why This Program is Different

Results-Driven Advancement: Your progression is based on demonstrated impact—specifically, sourcing closed investments—not just time served.

What You'll Gain

By the end of the program, you'll have:

Deep origination and market analysis capabilities
Proficiency in financial modeling, diligence, and investment evaluation
Direct contribution to successful investments
A powerful network across the growth equity ecosystem
Clear preparation for your next career move

Our Commitment

We invest in your growth as seriously as we invest in companies. You'll receive structured training, regular feedback, and increasing responsibility as you demonstrate results. Performance matters more than pedigree—we're looking for people who are hungry to learn, willing to hustle, and excited to build something meaningful.
