2023 HerValue Mentorship Program Celebrates Successful Completion 2023年她价值辅导计划圆满收官

The world is witnessing a monumental shift in the landscape of investments, and nowhere is this transformation more exciting than in China. With less than three decades of history in the investment industry, China's financial sector is experiencing unprecedented growth. In the heart of this dynamic environment, HerValue emerged in 2021 as a trailblazing force for change. Founded as a philanthropic mutual assistance platform, HerValue set out on a mission to advance women's representation in China's finance and investment industry. Through monthly publications and events in Beijing and Shanghai, HerValue empowered women to prepare for their next career leap, shaping the future of finance.

谈及全球投资领域的增长时,尽管中国的投资领域历史不到三十年,全球都目睹了中国投资领域前所未有的增长。在这个充满活力的环境中,HerValue于2021年崭露头角,作为一家公益互助平台,致力于促进中国金融和投资领域的女性代表性。通过每月的刊物和在北京和上海的活动,HerValue努力为中国金融和资产管理行业的女性赋能。

On March 8, 2023, HerValue made history by hosting China's first-ever diversity and sustainability investment conference, putting diversity and inclusion firmly on the map for the Chinese investment industry.

2023年3月8日,HerValue历史性地举办了中国首个多元化和可持续性投资峰会,将多元化和包容性议题引入到中国的投资领域。

HerValue has now evolved from publications and events to offer an exclusive and highly selective mentorship program designed to incubate the next generation of women and diverse investment leaders in China. The mentorship program selects students without full-time work experience and lasts for two semesters, from fall to spring. The first cohort, officially inducted in October 2023, comprises eight exceptionally talented mentees from Tsinghua University, Schwarzman College, and Fudan University, with diverse backgrounds and a shared passion for investments. These aspiring leaders are on a mission to revolutionize the industry and bring fresh perspectives to the table.

如今,HerValue不再制作任何出版物和举办活动,而是专注于创建独家且高度筛选的导师计划,旨在培养中国下一代女性和多元化投资领袖。这个导师计划为没有全职工作经验的在校大学生提供,为期两个学期,从秋季到春季。首批学员于2023年10月正式入选,其中包括来自清华大学和复旦大学的总共八位极具才华的学员,他们的背景多样,对中国投资充满热情。这些有抱负的领袖致力于引领行业前进,为行业带来新鲜的视角。

Throughout the mentorship program, students were granted exceptional, real-world opportunities that deepened their understanding of the investment industry while allowing them to contribute their unique perspectives and value. HerValue facilitated exclusive access to three prestigious investment conferences shown in pictures below — Asian Venture Capital Journal China in Beijing, SALT Asia in Singapore, and the Diversity Inclusion Conference by Asian Venture Capital Journal in Hong Kong—where students not only learned from industry leaders but also forged valuable professional connections.

在辅导计划期间,学生们获得了难得的实践机会,这些机会不仅加深了他们对投资行业的理解,也使他们能够贡献自己独特的视角和价值。HerValue为学生们提供了参加三个著名投资会议的独家机会,如图展示——包括在北京的Asian Venture Capital Journal中国大会、新加坡的SALT Asia大会,以及在香港举办的Asian Venture Capital Journal多元化包容性会议。在这些会议上,学生们不仅向行业领袖学习,还与专业人士建立了宝贵的职业联系。

Moreover, the program’s impact was amplified as 3E Bioventures Capital and Marathon Venture Partners proactively offered tailored, informal internship experiences, further enriching the students' journey and preparing them to become the next generation of investment leaders.

此外,3E生物资本和远毅资本还主动为学生量身提供了非正式实习机会,进一步丰富了他们的学习旅程,助力他们成为下一代投资领袖。

Testimonials from Students: 部分学生感言:

Sun Chenhao's Testimonial: "(The significance of the HerValue mentorship program to me) The guidance and role models provided by the mentors, along with the companionship and exchanges with my peers in the program, have helped me gradually understand myself, build confidence, and mature throughout my life, studies, and job search. (What I learned) Never give up on seeking your true self, avoid blind optimism, and learn from every experience and situation, staying true to your conscience. (A memorable moment) When I was struggling the most with my job search, Sister Michelle reminded me not to lose sight of my true self in the midst of temporary panic. She emphasized that choosing a job is also about choosing a lifestyle and seeking meaning."

孙辰昊学生感言:”(她价值辅导项目对我的意义) 前辈的指导和榜样力量以及与项目中其他同辈之间的交流陪伴使我在生活、学习和找工作的过程中逐渐认识自我,并坚定信心,不断成熟。(我学到了) 永远不放弃寻求真我,不盲目乐观,从一切经历与境遇中学习,致吾心之良知。(我记忆深刻的moment)在找工作最不顺利的时候,Michelle姐姐提醒我不要因为一时的慌乱而错失寻求自己内心的本真,工作的选择实际上也是一种生活方式的选择和意义的寻求。

Ji Yuqi's Testimonial: "In the HerValue mentorship program, I encountered incredibly supportive mentors and peers (especially shoutout to Sister Lily). They care about my well-being, help solve my doubts, and have provided numerous opportunities early in my career development. Through HerValue, I realized the tremendous value of altruism in philanthropic projects.

First of all, without a doubt, the platform and opportunities provided by the HerValue mentorship program allowed me to deeply engage with the investment industry and learn industry knowledge as an intern. Additionally, the women I encountered through HerValue have become great role models, whose achievements and strengths continuously inspire me.

One thing that touched me deeply was that every time Sister Lily called, her first question was always, 'How have you been recently?' We would then have a deep conversation about my life and work, discussing challenges I faced. This connection made me feel valued and supported. Another memorable moment was at the start of the mentorship program when Sister Lily invited us to an investor conference (I can't quite remember the name). The event was filled with industry professionals, and at that time, I was quite socially anxious and unsure of how to participate. Lily encouraged us by saying, 'You should feel particularly proud because you are the only students here, and it’s your uniqueness that makes you all the more worthy of confidence.' Her positive mindset really moved me, and now, I'm much more comfortable with social interactions."

季宇琪学生感言:在她价值辅导计划中,我遇到了非常支持我的导师和伙伴(尤其表白Lily学姐)。他们关心我的近况,为我解惑,助我成长,更是在我的职业发展的早期就提供了很多的机会。通过她价值,我意识到了公益项目中利他的巨大价值。

首先,毋庸置疑,通过她价值辅导计划提供的平台和机会,我深度接触了投资行业,以实习生身份学习了投资的行业知识。此外,她价值计划中接触到的人也为我树立了非常好的女性榜样,她们的成就和力量不断激励着我。

有一个点让我很感动。就是每次Lily学姐打电话过来。第一句都是,“你最近过得怎么样?” 然后我会认真分享我最近的生活和工作,探讨遇到的困境。会觉得彼此之间有非常深的“人与人的链接”。这也是我觉得收到了重视和支持的原因之一。有另外一个点让我印象深刻。她价值辅导计划刚开始的时候,Lily学姐请我们去开投资者大会(我有点忘记具体名字了),去的全都是投资行业的从业者。当时我还很社恐,不太敢也不知道如何参与其中。Lily听后鼓励我们说:“你们应该感到特别自豪,因为你们是这里唯一的学生,正是这份独特让你们更加值得信心满满。" 和我完全不一样的积极思维,很触动我。现在的我,已经并当时会social很多了。"

Qiu Feng's Testimonial: "(The significance of the HerValue mentorship program to you) HerValue showed me more possibilities within myself and introduced me to the experiences of many outstanding female role models (including both our mentors and peers!). Through this process, I achieved a sense of self-harmony, which is a very good state to be in. (What I learned) My interactions with the mentors provided me with numerous suggestions, not just in the field of investment, but also valuable advice for personal development in the long term. I am especially grateful to John for encouraging me to think differently, ask more questions, see what others don't, think a few steps ahead, and always engage in critical thinking. (A memorable moment) The roundtable discussions with everyone, where, as newcomers to the workforce, we exchanged insights with senior professionals about potential challenges we might face and gained confidence and determination to embark on our careers."

邱丰学生感言:”(她价值辅导计划对你的意义) HerValue对我而言让我看到了自身更多的可能性并且也看到了更多优秀女性榜样的经历(无论是我们的导师还是我们的同学都是!),并且在这个过程中我认为自己达到了自洽,这是一种非常好的状态~ (我学到了什么) 和导师的交流中他给到我了许多的建议,而这些建议不仅仅针对投资领域更是从long term看来对个人发展都非常有益的建议。非常感谢John从个人长远发展的角度,让我think differently;多问为什么;去看到别人看不到的信息,比别人多思考几步以及always critical thinking。(比较记忆深刻的moment) 和大家的圆桌讨论,作为即将步入职场新人的我们和senior的前辈交流在日后工作中可能遇到的问题以及前辈传授的经验都让我更加有信心并且更坚定地开启职业生涯!

Wu Xinya's Testimonial: "The HerValue mentorship program values the voices of young women, allowing me to witness the strength and perseverance of female seniors and peers. It has also given me the privilege of forming my own judgments and thoughts in conversations with the capital market. The inclusiveness and diversity of the program inspire me to continuously grow and progress in career choices, value formation, and self-discovery. I particularly remember one of the exchange trips, where we met professionals from different countries, ages, and professions. Their sharing of workplace experiences and life insights opened a new window to the world for me. The inclusiveness and diversity within the program also motivated me to continuously grow and improve in career choices, value formation, and self-discovery."

吴欣雅学生感言:”她价值辅导项目重视青年女性的声音,使我看见女性前辈和同辈们的力量和坚持,也让我有幸在与资本市场的对话中形成自己的判断和思考。项目本身的包容化和多样性激励着我在职业选择、价值观形成和发现自我中不断成长和进步。她价值辅导项目重视青年女性的声音,使我看见女性前辈和同辈们的力量和坚持,也让我有幸在与资本市场的对话中形成自己的判断和思考。犹记得(其中一个)交流之行汇聚了来自不同国家、不同年龄和不同职业的前辈,他们对于职场经验的分享和对人生的理解打开了世界的另一道窗,项目中的包容化和多样性也激励着我在职业选择、价值观形成和发现自我中不断成长和进步。
