Raise Capital

I owe my career in venture to GoingVC. I don't have a background in finance, I came from a fairly technical background with a few degrees in the medical sciences. I got curious about venture because my first few jobs out of grad school were at biotech startups. I was involved in the financing side of these companies, but I had no experience with the language or terms. I had to get my act together and learn, and I did that through the GoingVC Program. The company I was working for got acquired right after the program, and I actually met my first employer in the venture industry through a GoingVC introduction. It was great, I learned the basics and got a job totally from the GoingVC program.

GoingVC had an immense impact on my transition out of tech product management into my new found career within the venture capital industry. Not only did GoingVC provide me with the fundamental knowledge and skills necessary to succeed as a VC investor, but it surrounded me with a thriving network of VC / Entrepreneurship practitioners who I can I call on at a moment's notice. Lastly, the GoingVC career advisors were instrumental in my obtaining my current role as a Principal with Coinbase Ventures. From facilitating a referral to reviewing my resume and conducting mock interview prep, I was fortunate to land an investor role at my top choice firm. I'm, therefore, forever grateful to the GoingVC program and happily look forward to staying engaged as a mentor / advisor for future cohorts.

I found the program to be incredibly informative and I decided to use my experience to launch into VC full-time, so as you can see from my job title, I'm no longer an attorney, I'm a full-time investor in the consumer tech and consumer AI space.

I can’t praise the GoingVC program or the team enough, I had such a positive experience and felt really confident entering the market because of the amount of information and support I had from the cohort. I was part of cohort 10 and I still have great relationships with people from cohort 4 that have a similar investment thesis such as myself.
