Future VC in the Making: Seeking VC Wisdom as a Student

Hi there!

I’m currently an sophmore undergrad pursuing a finance degree at a non-target school. Coming from a family with no connections in the finance industry, venture capital seems quite intimidating, especially as it’s such a male-dominated field.

To all the incredible women in venture capital reading this: if you could go back and give your sophomore undergrad self advice for breaking into VC, what tips and tricks would you share? I’d also appreciate any advice you can offer.

I’m eager to connect and learn from the amazing women in VC. I'd love the opportunity to have 1-on-1 conversations to navigate this path more confidently.
