There is no “perfect” age to participate in the GoingVC program. Itʼs more about what you want to get out of it and whether we can provide that for you.

Weʼve had members who recently graduated or are currently in grad school, as well as others who were much later into their careers.

GoingVC is a geographically agnostic program. The investment skills youʼll learn are universal.

While we donʼt target any specific cities for alumni job placement, members have gone on to find VC roles all over the world.

Live sessions typically take place on Tuesdays or Thursdays at 5 PM PST.

If you canʼt make the live calls, no problem. We record every lecture so you can watch or listen on your own time, whether on your computer or phone. Many members complete the program asynchronously.

If for any reason youʼre not satisfied with the program within the first 30 days (thatʼs a quarter of the program), just let us know — weʼll issue a full refund, no questions asked. We make this guarantee because we want GoingVC to be one of the most impactful professional development experiences youʼve ever had.

Members should expect to spend around 4-6 hours per week to get full value out of the experience.

The curriculum varies based on which track you select when you join the program. We have the flagship program track, which is all about learning the fundamentals of VC and breaking into the industry. Then, we have a track focused on Raising a Fund, which teaches you the fundamentals and also prepares members for raising their own fund. Thus, a select portion of the curriculum differs.
