VU was an immensely valuable experience… VU was an immensely valuable experience to help source and evaluate deals, just like a real VC! I wish I had more time to bring more deals to IC; I stayed for 3 months. Also, I think it might be great for future cohorts to get the syllabus ahead of time (in terms of the lecture topics covered during the Masterclass). Also, I think they'd benefit from more financial modeling/waterfall examples/scenarios/problem sets. Maybe walking them through an entire diligence process at the outset could be helpful. How do you analyze a data room? Also, maybe a mini-lecture on preparing for an IC could be helpful. Come prepared w/ questions during the Masterclass & Modules. Maybe submit them beforehand.

The VU program is great way to jump into VC at all levels The VU program has been an amazing opportunity to learn and be fully engaged in the VC process. Being a late career move, I was looking for a way into a VC path but it was a challenge to see how and where to jump in at the right level. Working within the VU program has proven to be a great springboard to learn while also leveraging past management and technology consulting experience. The diversity of education and experience levels across the VU team embraces the value everyone brings to the table. The VC immersion, networking and relationships you build is a path for all levels. The daily mentoring from great industry leaders like Aakash, Skyler and Andrew is outstanding. A great career decision and no turning back now!

One of the best choices in career VU was a very quick decision for me and it is by far among the best I've made! Coming from startups as a founder and operator, VU opened up a new perspective for me - almost like taking a new seat around the same table but getting a clearer view. A year later after graduation, I've accelerated my career greatly now working with founders that seek support in fundraise. The knowledge, skills and network gained from the experience are benefiting not only me but to dozens of founder in developing nations.
