1) The curriculum is fantastic. The instructors are very knowledgeable and the AMAs with guest speakers are always packed with info. 2) The Investor Program was the most valuable for me. There's a phrase in VC of "doing the job before you have the job". This often means aspiring VC partners attend networking events and say they are sourcing for several VCs but do not have a formal affiliation. This can cause some confusion with founders. Being a venture partner in the Investor Program gave me the confidence to go to networking events and meet founders. It also provided experience in writing investment memos and pitching to the IC. It was also helpful to see a variety of deals across different verticals rather than just a single vertical like health tech. Because GoingVC Partners is an angel syndicate, one of the potential downsides is that the syndicate may not always invest in a deal in a given cycle, so it's hard to point to investments you worked on when applying to FT roles unless you stay for multiple cycles. 3) Awesome network. The program has many years under its belt. VC is about relationships, and it's very helpful to be able to tap into that network, particularly if doing diligence in an area where you are less familiar. 4) You get what you put into it. The program is very flexible, which was important as I was also working a FT job. The consequence of that is you need to be able to clearly convey what you did and the experience gained when applying for roles.
