What does it take for high school students to break into the world of venture capital, and thrive?

Today, we're joined by three standout Venture Analysts from 1435 Capital who are doing just that. Meet Steven Tunison, Ansh Vasani, and Suhani Pandya, rising stars who've taken initiative in finance, entrepreneurship, and research long before most peer even think about it.

Steven is a junior at George School and an award-winning analyst with a deep background in economics and student leadership. Ansh, a rising junior at Stanford Online High School, is a club leader, scout, and founder of a nonprofit focused on financial literacy. And Suhani, from The Brearly School, brings impressive experience in industry research advocacy for women in venture capital.

Together, they're helping source deals, conduct due diligence, and explore the future of investing, all while still in high school. Let's hear how they got started, what they've learned, and where they're headed next.

Please welcome Steven, Ansh, and Suhani!
