Jumpstart Your VC/PE Career! I truly enjoyed my time during VU's first virtual cohort (C8!) and believe it exceeded my expectations. Sky, Andrew, Jenna, Aakash, and Arpan were all instrumental to my development during my time at VU. I highly recommend and urge those contemplating on whether this is the step to jumpstart their VC/PE careers long-term!

Excellent 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.

One 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.

I am thankful to VU for opportunity to… I am thankful to VU for opportunity to get hands on experience in venture capital. Each week we sourced new investments and presented them at weekly partners' meeting. Partners shared their experience and challenged us with questions that helped us to learn and grow more. The program also provided learning sessions, fire site chats with other VCs, and lots of networking opportunities. It is hard to find such a comprehensive program that can teach so much in just a little over two months.

The 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.
