Venture capitalists see hundreds or thousands of deals per year, placing them in the center of startup ecosystems worldwide. For a variety of reasons, venture capital is a notoriously difficult industry to break into. There are normally three ways to get a position in this field.
One way to break into venture capital is to have a strong relationship with someone already in the industry. Another way is to have something meaningful in common with a leader at a venture capital firm. The final way is to build an impeccable reputation as an investor or as an operator.
Breaking the many barriers to entry into the venture capital world is the mission of VC Lab, the leading venture capital accelerator.
