ZAExcellent Network & High quality Academic Content What sets Venture University apart for me from any of the other courses that I have in the past attended is... (1) the influential network that I have become part of, as well as (2) the high quality and practical academic content that I have been exposed to, whilst at the same time (3) gaining insight and learning from the practical experiences of some of the top GP's in the VC industry. The time I spent at VU is of immense value to me and I can recommend it to anyone interested in joining the VC/PE industry.

GBAmazing experience at VU! The VU program gave us the opportunity to learn the business of venture capital from the ground up and armed us with the tools needed to hit the ground running in the industry. Overall a high quality program and platform run by highly skilled practitoners who genuinely want to help you succceed. I was honored to be a part of a great team and Cohort 9.

GBThe best vc apprenticeship out there! The best program/internship I have taken thus far. Was a great learning curve to learn from the top industry experts about Venture Capital. Special kudos to Andrew, Skyler, Aakash, and the whole cohort for making this an amazing experience professionally and personally over the last three months. Greatest value add to my career trajectory by a mile.

AMOne of the best choices in career VU was a very quick decision for me and it is by far among the best I've made! Coming from startups as a founder and operator, VU opened up a new perspective for me - almost like taking a new seat around the same table but getting a clearer view. A year later after graduation, I've accelerated my career greatly now working with founders that seek support in fundraise. The knowledge, skills and network gained from the experience are benefiting not only me but to dozens of founder in developing nations.

GBTop Notch Experience! I have been part of the VU family since Jan 2020. It's incredible how much I have learned and how much I have become immersed in the VC and startup ecosystem over the last several months. My experience as part of the Venture University VC/PE apprenticeship program has been absolutely stellar -- from the robust academic background to the "learn by doing" deal sourcing all the way to making real investments with real dollars! I'd strongly recommed VU to anyone interested in the startup ecosystem and looking for a path to become a VC. Jeff
