Definitely a rewarding experience if you are the one who is interested in exploring the VC/PE industry. Not only the high-quality masterclass and hands-on experience you'll get but also the access to a life-time VC club membership and endless deal flows are worth it!
The VU program gave us the opportunity to learn the business of venture capital from the ground up and armed us with the tools needed to hit the ground running in the industry. Overall a high quality program and platform run by highly skilled practitoners who genuinely want to help you succceed. I was honored to be a part of a great team and Cohort 9.
Best career move I made! - When I was interviewing I made sure my diligence on the program was thorough. I spoke with past cohort members and did my own analysis of pathways to break into Venture Capital. After going through the program I can say it was worth every penny as I got to meet great fellows, acquire knowledge about the industry in a comprehensive and digested way, spoke to over 100 start-ups, networked with 20+ investors, and developed sharp investment skills that are transferable to other asset classes as well. Venture Univerisity's investor accelerator program is an incredibly effective way to have a shot into the VC industry. I strongly recommend this program for experienced professionals that are looking for career pivots into VC, nonetheless, it is a great program at any stage of your career.
I have been part of the VU family since Jan 2020.It's incredible how much I have learned and how much I have become immersed in the VC and startup ecosystem over the last several months.My experience as part of the Venture University VC/PE apprenticeship program has been absolutely stellar -- from the robust academic background to the "learn by doing" deal sourcing all the way to making real investments with real dollars!I'd strongly recommed VU to anyone interested in the startup ecosystem and looking for a path to become a VC.Jeff
I think Venture University provided an invaluable experience that gives tangible examples of the day to day in the VC industry. Through the program, you operate as if you are already a VC and take meetings with founders in addition to weekly investor meetings. Some things to improve upon would be interview prep/career opportunity and investment thesis development but overall I think the people invested in the program work extremely hard to produce quality alumni.
Really a 4.5/5. This negative 1/2 is due to the course and work being entirely virtual. That personal touch of in-person interactions would have made it even better.Being able to do various levels of work was very beneficial, but at times it seemed like there was too much going on, particularly earlier on. Once you go through the assigned list of companies in the 'deal flow', it becomes easier. Time management is essential, and so is knowing all of the correct terms and phrases.Overall, I see this helping me land a job in VC/PE very soon!
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.
VU is easily one of the best decisions I've ever made. Sky and Andrew are incredible mentors and teachers. Not only do we learn from their many years of experience, but we actually go out and apply what we've learned. I've never had such a great combination of work and educational experience. Not only that, but the people you're surrounded with also teach you so much about different industries and give you new perspectives. VU's unique structure allows us to provide the most value possible to the entrepreneurs we talk to while also fueling ourselves with even more knowledge. If your goal is to learn and to invest in yourself, then VU is the perfect environment. At the end of the day, it's only worth what you put into it. If you are eager and curious, you can champion several deals from start to finish. But if you only do the bare minimum, you won't be able to reap the full benefits of the experience.
VU program is great, with opportunity to learn, network & work to gain real time experience " Lifecycle of Venture Capital" from Deal Sourcing, Due-Digelence, Financial Modeling, Valuation ...., well designed program, and my experience is exceeded / better than VC Executive Program at Haas Business School - Berkeley CA - Thanks Skyler & Andrew !!!!
Overall the experience was super pleasant and well organized. Be fully prepared before joining the program, VU definitely has the world-class mentors: Sky and Andrew. Learnt so much from them and their engagement conversation with startups. If VU could spin off into 2 programs to accommodate both working professional and full-time students given the difference of their time commitment, it would be better
