I'd highly recommend the VC Lab Venture Institute Program. Through weekly sessions and hands-on learning, I learned about the investment process and stages of venture capital, venture capital structures, key metrics (e.g. IRR, TVPI, DPI) in venture capital, venture operations, and how to discover limited partners. This experience directly influenced my ability to secure a full-time role as an Associate at Geek Ventures, where I focus on deal sourcing, screening, and conducting in-depth analyses of prospective startups.
