The Most Practical and Efficient Way to Get into VC

I loved, loved, loved the Venture University experience. The program surpassed all my expectations.I started my full-time startup and venture journey in March 2021 and spent every week of the last year talking to entrepreneurs/founders, VC Funds, Funds of Funds, foundations, angel investor groups, and more than 50 corporates. In addition, I consumed hundreds of hours of Y Combinator, DreamIt Ventures, and other startup/founder videos, podcasts, articles, plus attended dozens of events, seminars, and panels about VCs, emerging fund managers, and startups. I spent one year absorbing as much content as possible and actually building ventures and startups with entrepreneurs before doing Venture University. I wish I had done Venture University before starting startups and investing. Net, VU has been by far, the best and most useful content and learning experience I have had. I found more value in what VU put together and shared with us in the first week than in one year of all the other resources. The two VU leaders distilled the fundamentals of Venture Capital and the startup world and shared useful guidance on how to move forward based on their decades of VC experience. This is priceless! I wish that I had done this program sooner.Bottom line, I value the experience, the content, the insights, and wisdom that Skyler, Andrew and the rest of the VU team shared. I highly recommend this program.

I did 3 semesters and it was a great experience. I highly recommend it if you wish to understand Venture Capital and want to join the industry.

VU Master Class

I did an analysis of a 100 page Fund Constitution and Subscription doc for a Fund and was able to do that effectively because of VU Master Class lessons. The feeling is like when all what you studied appears on an exam!!! Recommend the Program!!!

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.

VU Venture Partners: Spreading VC Knowledge To All

An amazing fund to get to be a part of and learn from with very high caliber members in the program to grow alongside of. It was a great real first taste for me to deep dive and learn more about the Venture Capital and Private Equity space, and I will definitely be looking for opportunities to join a fund down the road. Overall great experience, and grateful for the opportunity.

Amazing program and people

Joining VU was one of the best decisions I've ever made. The VC/PE industry is very competitive to get into, and VU offered me a rare chance to learn what it's like to be a VC from every angle and with hands-on experience. I loved every part of it! We met with startup founders, brought deals to Partners meetings, presented to Investment Committees (and each had a voice to help make decisions about cohort investments), and presented in front of 50-100+ syndicate investors each time we found outstanding deals. I would never have had the opportunity to learn (and accomplish) as much as I did, so quickly, and from such bright and experienced teachers, without VU's program.Through VU, in addition to learning a ton and gaining valuable experience, I was also lucky enough to land a new job in VC/PE. Joining VU does not guarantee you a job automatically, but if recruiting is a priority for you then in my opinion there is no better place to be than in a VU cohort. I learned about my new role through VU, applied with a resume that VU helped me refine, and had great guidance from VU leaders throughout the process to help me best position myself and make the right career decision.VU leadership wants you to succeed and will be on your side, and the people at VU make the apprenticeship an incredible (and really fun) experience. Be prepared to work hard so that you can get the most out of everything VU offers. I would highly recommend joining VU if you're able to; find a way to make it happen because the opportunity is one-of-a-kind.

Super great, learn by doing experience. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended and a great way of learning to be a VC. A very engaging and satisfying program led by knowledgeable industry experts and a great team. It's a super great opportunity to meet and engage with the founders, LPs, GPS, and other VCs. Learn by doing.
