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.

Top 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

Amazing 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.

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!

VU was an immensely valuable experience… VU was an immensely valuable experience to help source and evaluate deals, just like a real VC! I wish I had more time to bring more deals to IC; I stayed for 3 months. Also, I think it might be great for future cohorts to get the syllabus ahead of time (in terms of the lecture topics covered during the Masterclass). Also, I think they'd benefit from more financial modeling/waterfall examples/scenarios/problem sets. Maybe walking them through an entire diligence process at the outset could be helpful. How do you analyze a data room? Also, maybe a mini-lecture on preparing for an IC could be helpful. Come prepared w/ questions during the Masterclass & Modules. Maybe submit them beforehand.
