Graduation is upon us, and the masses of clueless, freshly minted graduates are flooding the dead job market. Many individuals hope to explore the realm of technology, entrepreneurship and… well… probably venture capital.
Over a year ago, I explored the realm of getting a job in venture capital. I was disappointed. All posts and articles declared either (i) you have to be a successful entrepreneur, or (ii) you have to get a Harvard MBA. I was neither. I was just profoundly interested in venture capital (who wouldn’t be).
I wasn’t satisfied with those two routes; I went out and landed a gig briefly before discovering that entrepreneurship was more fun–once becoming a successful entrepreneur, I can’t see myself going back into the realm of VC–angel investing, perhaps–but not venture capital. It’s too slow.
Still, there’s obviously going to be young individuals, like myself once, who desperately want to work in the field of venture capital. And for you, I’ve gathered up some of the best posts on getting a job in venture capital. Enjoy:
