GoingVC is a professional development program aimed at helping you take the next step in your venture capital career.
We started the program because – having come from venture capital backgrounds ourselves – we experienced first-hand how challenging and competitive of an industry it is to break into, and we wanted to be a resource for others as they attempted to navigate their own paths into the field.

Why Did We Build This?
We know that the VC job hunt is HARD.
We did everything you’re doing now…
- We asked (begged) for warm intros to VC’s
- We scanned every line of CB Insights newsletters
- We read every VC blog out there
- We built our investment thesis deck
- We got coffee with the best of them…
and eventually we were lucky enough to break through and develop our careers in
But because we know that if you’ve made it this far, giving up simply isn’t an option… we’ve created this program for you.
