Emilio Van Cotthem

Founder-operator focused on fixing early hiring: Emilio co-founded Subscription Intern to build a skills-first, pre-vetted internship pipeline that handles sourcing, interviewing, and onboarding for startups and investment firms.

Early finance and deal exposure: Public materials and profiles list roles in investment banking (Deutsche Bank sophomore and summer analyst roles) and growth-equity/analyst experience at Vocap Partners. These experiences suggest early domain knowledge in finance, deal process, and startup investor networks prior to focusing on talent/hiring startups. youtube+1

High‑level student-athlete discipline: Emilio has a sustained tennis background — a nationally ranked junior, RPI varsity competitor (2021-22), and later a Division III starter at Emory. His athletic record (multiple winning seasons and tournament results) and continued participation indicate competitive drive, time management, and teamwork. emoryathletics+2

Public founder persona and occasional controversy: Emilio is an active social poster about founder life and hiring; some public posts have drawn attention and critique (coverage in consumer news outlets after a viral post about packed meeting schedules). This indicates a visible founder persona willing to share operational details and opinions publicly. timesnownews+1
