Writing as an undergraduate with no experience in venture (or finance), VU has been one of the best decisions I've made. Sky and Andrew spend a lot of time talking through the technical side of venture, and then gives us the unique platform to go out and source our own deals for VU Venture Partners. I've talked to so many inspiring founders, and I'm learning something new every day, both from the investors at VU and the entrepreneurs I meet with. There's just something special about hearing about each founder's startup, and then getting feedback from our team and the Partners. I've been poking my head around different career options (Consulting, IB, Trading, Wealth Management), and I think the investors and founders I've connected with through VU are the most passionate group I've talked to.A comprehensive, hands-on program for the aspiring venture capital associate/investor/partner, taught by some of the best in the industry. I'm really excited to build my VC career from here.
