VU experience is the way to go ! VU experience is the way to go, to reach your goals to be a VC. VU's network is a great way to connect with VC world, learn a ton from experiences of Skyler and Andrew. Anyone considering pivoting your career to Venture Capital, I highly recommend joining the VU. The entire VU team are always there to help you grow, and succeed. You will become part of a lifelong community and will see the success together.

VU is easily one of the best decisions... VU is easily one of the best decisions I've ever made. Sky and Andrew are incredible mentors and teachers. Not only do we learn from their many years of experience, but we actually go out and apply what we've learned. I've never had such a great combination of work and educational experience. Not only that, but the people you're surrounded with also teach you so much about different industries and give you new perspectives. VU's unique structure allows us to provide the most value possible to the entrepreneurs we talk to while also fueling ourselves with even more knowledge. If your goal is to learn and to invest in yourself, then VU is the perfect environment. At the end of the day, it's only worth what you put into it. If you are eager and curious, you can champion several deals from start to finish. But if you only do the bare minimum, you won't be able to reap the full benefits of the experience.

Venture University If you want to learn how VC works and be around a family/individuals knowledgeable about the startup industry and the newly rising asset class "Venture Capital", Venture University is the place to be! No matter what experience you have in VC or your age, Venture University's curriculum is useful for all!

Review Overall, I had a really great experience at VU and have learned a tremendous amount from having taken part in it. Being a mere sophomore in college and a natural introvert, at times I felt intimidated by my fellow cohort members, given their substantial experience, but I used the time I spent in the office to really break out of my shell and let my opinions be heard. Doing that has been very beneficial for me in developing my social skills, which translated to my leadership position at college at well. However, there are a few things that could have been improved upon. I wish we had more time to dig deeper into each startup and discuss in depth at partners meetings. At times they felt rushed and sometimes companies were judged unfairly or too quickly based on previous assumptions. Also, I wish the partners were more accessible because at times they did not feel approachable due to their busy schedule. Additionally, I would've liked the program to be a bit longer, due to the sheer amount of startups we had to analyze, it was very difficult for me to get through all of them. Apart from those aspects, I did enjoy my time at VU and might join again in the future.

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.
