Jumpstart Your VC/PE Career! I truly enjoyed my time during VU's first virtual cohort (C8!) and believe it exceeded my expectations. Sky, Andrew, Jenna, Aakash, and Arpan were all instrumental to my development during my time at VU. I highly recommend and urge those contemplating on whether this is the step to jumpstart their VC/PE careers long-term!

The best vc apprenticeship out there! The best program/internship I have taken thus far. Was a great learning curve to learn from the top industry experts about Venture Capital. Special kudos to Andrew, Skyler, Aakash, and the whole cohort for making this an amazing experience professionally and personally over the last three months. Greatest value add to my career trajectory by a mile.

VU Venture Partners: Spreading VC Knowledge To All An amazing fund to get to be a part of and learn from with very high caliber members in the program to grow alongside of. It was a great real first taste for me to deep dive and learn more about the Venture Capital and Private Equity space, and I will definitely be looking for opportunities to join a fund down the road. Overall great experience, and grateful for the opportunity.

Top Notch Experience! I have been part of the VU family since Jan 2020. It's incredible how much I have learned and how much I have become immersed in the VC and startup ecosystem over the last several months. My experience as part of the Venture University VC/PE apprenticeship program has been absolutely stellar -- from the robust academic background to the "learn by doing" deal sourcing all the way to making real investments with real dollars! I'd strongly recommed VU to anyone interested in the startup ecosystem and looking for a path to become a VC. Jeff
