The Venture Ecosystem for Emerging VCs

The level of preparedness and learning objectives that comes from the experience you get out of it is incredible...I've been focusing on crafting my narratives and my understanding of how to communicate to investors.

Learning a lot from the @Going_VC program @johnmgannon @RogerKuo highly recommend #VentureCapital #investing #VC #startups

I was pleasantly surprised through the program, overall around the 5 core pillars of the GoingVC program, the network being the main reason I joined, but also the education and opportunity was incredible as well. The private Slack group has been helpful during my search where job opportunities are posted on a daily basis. I was studying VC in a big way but the GoingVC curriculum heightened that awareness, especially for me, given my expertise was in early stage finance.

By Fall 2021, I was accepted into the @Going_VC fellowship where I completed a phenomenal 16-week educational program that helps to prepare participants for a career in venture capital.

Fast forward to spring 2022 (my last semester in the @GATechScheller MBA program) I decided to apply to @coinbase’s open Principal role on the ventures team. S/O to @Going_VC for facilitating a referral and helping me prep for the interviews.

It's incredible the amount of resources that GoingVC has - the reading materials, the exercises, the community. I think it really made a difference in me being able to break into the industry.

I did the 1 year MBA program at Stanford and I still found GoingVC very valuable, despite having done plenty of courses in entrepreneurship and investing. What I found particularly useful was the community - not just that you join a great network that you can ask questions from but also a safe space for networking, whether it's for learning more about VC or looking for jobs in the space.

I saw the quality of the curriculum - and even though I went to business school I would even go in so far as saying that GoingVC's curriculum is on par if not better than top business schools.

It was a huge learning journey through a 16-week educational program covering fundamentals of venture capital, in courses led by industry veterans , networking with many ecosystem partners in the venture capital industry!

Dear Friends - If you are looking to hone your skills in #venturecapital this is a fantastic program to make you stand out from the crowd. The caliber of the students is outstanding and the staff is really supportive. Please feel free to reach out if you want to discuss further. #goingvc

I had the opportunity to write an investment thesis for the sports tech industry with Renata Merino for GoingVC

This experience was extremely rewarding and taught me a lot about what goes into determining investment opportunities.

Feel free to let me know what you think.

As a cohort 8 alumni, I highly recommend this program
