I’ve been chatting with young people trying to break into VC so sharing what I generally advise: - To make the best impression, don’t ask VCs for coffee, send them *good* deal flow instead - Bad deal flow is worse than sending nothing. If you don’t know the difference, absorb more content from great founders - Build your founder network authentically. If you’re in college it’ll prob be with other student founders - Few firms hire straight from college. Don’t feel bad if you don’t get the job. Go get experience at a fast-growth startup in any role, FAANG, or found a company first. Learn what it feels like to work with the best - Get fluent with the latest AI tools. Build, ship projects and write about your learnings - Unsure if VC is for you? I always say the closest feeing role at a startup is the sales rep - If you’re young and risk-on, it’s a great market environment to be a founder (vs investor). Take the plunge!
