I was a part of cohort 2 and currently work in venture. I did VU after working as an operator at startups and completing my Master's. Lot of great things to highlight:-- Partners: The partners have extensive VC experience and are able to share their knowledge, experience, and most importantly time to help mentor each cohort-- Network: Your cohort will become a great network within the VC ecosystem. Great opportunity to get in touch w/ Alumni or future cohorts as well-- Hands on: It is difficult to get VC experience, so most people read blogs, listen to podcasts, or take VC classes. VU goes one step further with a true apprenticeship model of learning by doing. You'll get to meet with founders, participate in weekly partner meetings, conduct due diligence, and play a role on the investment committee.Great way to kickstart a career in venture, learn how to make better angel investments, network with future colleagues in the ecosystem, and learn from a great team!
