So I joined VU as a part of Cohort of 8 with no prior VC/Finance related experience. All I had was passion to learn about VC! VU has more than exceeded my expectations and it’s been the most enriching and productive learning experience I’ve had in my life. Sky, Andrew, Aakash, Arpan, and Faraz are amazing teachers and mentors and every conversation with them is a learning experience. VU provides you with all the resources and connections you need to break into the VC world and develop relationships in the field. I’ve personally benefitted immensely and have developed amazing relationships both at VU and in the VC world in general. I learnt how to source companies, do diligence, and lead the best ones through Investment Committee. You get the experience of what a job at a traditional VC fund would look like with the added benefit of constant advise and mentorship from the GPs Sky and Andrew which is invaluable moving ahead. I personally sourced for the Frontier tech team and had the opportunity to speak with amazing founders and learn about new industries and innovations on a daily basis. If you want to break into VC or become a better Investor I highly recommend this program as it’s one of the most rewarding experiences you can have.
