VentureCapital #Hiring Ideal profile for a Venture Capital Candidate : I am not a veteran, but ~5 years in VC has given me access to people who are leaders and have written / spoken about this. A synthesis of all of this led me to: Someone who embodies all these seemingly contrasting traits; might seem impossible, but here's what the "ideal" profile looks like: CORE : 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲: This forms the foundation. The individual actively seeks new information, identifies patterns, and asks insightful questions. 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧-𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬: They embrace diverse perspectives, readily consider new ideas, and adapt to evolving situations. ________________________________ BALANCING : 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐯𝐬. 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭: - Leverages introverted strengths: Deep thinking, analysis, focused research, independent learning. Key: Thoughtfulness: Carefully considers information, weighs options, and makes well-informed decisions. - Develops extroverted qualities: Effective communication, networking, collaboration, engaging presentation. Key: Networking ability: Builds strong relationships, fosters communication, bridges connections between different groups. 𝐀𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐯𝐬. 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫: - Possesses strong academic rigour: Research skills, theoretical knowledge, problem-solving ability. - Gains practical experience: Applies theory to real-world scenarios, learns from hands-on projects. ________________________________ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐅𝐢𝐭 - "ideal" is flexible: The specific weight given to each trait depends on the context and specific role. - Based on potential, not just existing skillset: Individuals willing to develop and stretch beyond their comfort zones. - Diversity + Versatility matters: Candidates who demonstrate different combinations of these traits, not just a perfect match. This offers a starting point for seeking individuals with balance rather than fitting someone into a rigid mold. I hope this helps! #VentureCapital #Career

As both One Capital and Coral Capital have been focused on hiring since we closed our most recent funds, we ran an event to talk about venture capital and the various career paths. There was a lot spoken ‘off the record’ for those that came in person, but we’ve also put together a video ready for public viewing (in Japanese). What made the panel particularly interesting was that both firms have such different approaches to venture capital. One Capital is a specialist firm primarily focused on SaaS. Coral Capital is a generalist firm that invests in SaaS, but also Deep Tech, consumer, and many other areas. One Capital positions itself as a ‘hands-on’ firm, while Coral Capital is a “hands-if” firm (we're there if you need us, out of your way when you don't). The difference in views provided the ingredients for a great debate on why each of us have built our firms in certain ways. Ultimately, there are many ways to win in VC and the approach that fits you is a matter of preference and fit. I hope this is helpful to anyone considering a career in venture capital.
