What else do you need help with, shoot them. #linkedin LinkedIn #vc #startup #venturecapital #fundraising

Are you a high school or college student interested in Venture Capital? To become a venture capitalist, we can learn from LinkedIn profiles. The experience sections of current VC analysts and investors display the following commonalities: 🏫 1) Education: These analysts completed their undergraduate degrees at top-notch institutions known for academic rigor and intellectual curiosity. Beyond simply earning a degree, these analysts likely pursued challenging coursework, engaged in extracurricular activities, and cultivated strong relationships with professors. Such experiences not only demonstrate a commitment to learning but also the ability to excel in competitive environments, a vital trait in the fast-paced world of venture capital. 💼 2) Previous VC Internships: Internships provide invaluable hands-on experience and insights into the workings of the venture capital industry. Sourcing internships, for instance, involve identifying potential investment opportunities, conducting market research, and evaluating startups' viability. On the other hand, finance and accounting internships offer exposure to financial modeling, due diligence processes, and portfolio management. Each type of internship contributes to a well-rounded understanding of venture capital operations and hones specific skill sets essential for success in the field. 👩💻 3) Fellowship Experience: Fellowships backed by VC firms offer unparalleled access to industry professionals. Through these programs, aspiring venture capitalists can immerse themselves in the ecosystem, gaining exposure to deal flow, investment strategies, and networking opportunities. 📈 4) School Clubs: Participation in Student Investment Funds or PE/VC Case Teams simulate real-world investment scenarios. Valuable experiences include conducting market research and financial analysis to presenting investment recommendations. 📲 5) Founders: Experiencing firsthand the challenges and triumphs of building a startup, students gain insight into the intricacies of the entrepreneurial journey. This empathy and understanding not only enhance investors' ability to assess startup potential but also foster stronger relationships with founders, as they recognize the shared experiences and mutual goals driving both parties. To summarize: you need to do the job before the job. Whether you choose to build a startup, invest in your school's fund, or join a VC fellowship, all of these experiences can build your repertoire as an aspiring venture capitalist. #venturecapital #girlsintovc

𝟱𝘁𝗵 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻, 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱: 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 This summer internship has been an incredible journey so far! In the past few weeks, I've delved deep into the world of startup valuation - a fascinating topic that's crucial for understanding a company's true worth. Here are some key takeaways I've gained: 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱𝘀: There's no one-size-fits-all approach to valuing a startup. I explored different methods like DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) and multiples-based valuation, each with its strengths and considerations. 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Learned about different types of valuations - pre-money, post-money - and how they impact fundraising rounds and investor dilution. It's all about understanding the company's stage and future potential. 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽𝘀: Traditional valuation methods might not always capture the full picture for innovative startups. I explored how factors like user base, growth potential, and disruption play a role in valuing these new-age companies. It's exciting to see how valuation is evolving alongside the startup landscape! This internship has given me valuable insights into the financial side of startups. I'm eager to continue learning and applying this knowledge in the future! #summerinternship #startupvaluation #finance #learning
