Try taking an EntryLevel course on Venture Capital.Thank me later.
I posted my EntryLevel portfolio on LinkedIn…it’s a good way of showcasing your knowledge.
I would 100% recommend this to anyone - from founders trying to understand VCs to people interested in becoming a Venture Capital Analyst.

My portfolio got me a job…EntryLevel helped me level up. GPs are busy and may not have time to teach you, so EntryLevel fast-tracked my process.
I'm not even trying to cap right now, like every person I sent to my portfolio to was amazed. It makes them want to talk to me and learn more about me.
