Want to build a career in VC?

GoingVC’s flagship program exists to be the premier resource for individuals to build the skills, network, and experience necessary to get hired (or advance their career) in the VC industry through its “Core” track. The flagship program also has a “Raising a Fund” track that prepares individuals to raise their own fund and succeed as a GP.

"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." - Ryan Taylor (Cohort 8)

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