Venture Capital Jumpstart Course (including Live Group Office Hour with me)
In VC Jumpstart Course, you'll learn a proven framework for VC job search, based on my experience securing 3 VC job offers. Including:
- How to get more interviews, especially when you don't have connections at the partner level.
- How to sniff out which firms might be hiring (and score an interview), even when they haven’t posted a job
- Techniques to make you stand out -- even if you don't have a perfect resume, or you have a non-traditional background
- The fast and easy process for starting your investment thesis + multiple examples of investment thesis docs/decks - There's a lot written on how to do this, but rarely do any of those posts cover the minimum set of things you need to do RIGHT NOW to get the ball rolling.
- The 30 day "4P Process" for staying on a firm’s radar (without feeling like you’re annoying them) after a coffee chat or an interview.
- The tell-tale signs that a VC may be ready to make you an offer.
- How to execute the Networking Sandwich strategy when running your own VC focused meetup or networking dinner.
- How to identify up and coming VC superstars who can advocate for you and help you reach your career goals
