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.

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

Excellent Network & High quality Academic Content What sets Venture University apart for me from any of the other courses that I have in the past attended is... (1) the influential network that I have become part of, as well as (2) the high quality and practical academic content that I have been exposed to, whilst at the same time (3) gaining insight and learning from the practical experiences of some of the top GP's in the VC industry. The time I spent at VU is of immense value to me and I can recommend it to anyone interested in joining the VC/PE industry.

I am thankful to VU for opportunity to… I am thankful to VU for opportunity to get hands on experience in venture capital. Each week we sourced new investments and presented them at weekly partners' meeting. Partners shared their experience and challenged us with questions that helped us to learn and grow more. The program also provided learning sessions, fire site chats with other VCs, and lots of networking opportunities. It is hard to find such a comprehensive program that can teach so much in just a little over two months.

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
