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.

I learned and enjoyed the program. I learned by doing. There are a few programs for the VC space out there that are more theoretical. I didn't feel that with VU. I was doing more application and it involved the whole process from finding the company, then all the way through funding. The program also helped me improve my network since I met and worked with people from different backgrounds and regions. It also helped me to learn from different industries since we were looking at and evaluating companies from different areas. I learned a lot in a short time

Super great, learn by doing experience. Highly recommended! Highly recommended and a great way of learning to be a VC. A very engaging and satisfying program led by knowledgeable industry experts and a great team. It's a super great opportunity to meet and engage with the founders, LPs, GPS, and other VCs. Learn by doing.

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!

Fantastic, real life experience Really a 4.5/5. This negative 1/2 is due to the course and work being entirely virtual. That personal touch of in-person interactions would have made it even better. Being able to do various levels of work was very beneficial, but at times it seemed like there was too much going on, particularly earlier on. Once you go through the assigned list of companies in the 'deal flow', it becomes easier. Time management is essential, and so is knowing all of the correct terms and phrases. Overall, I see this helping me land a job in VC/PE very soon!
