Because of sheer luck and by networking I landed a summer internship at a small, privately owned vc firm based in Manhattan.
What's unusual is that:
1. I'm a Hispanic female (43 years old)
2. I'm an undergrad (senior) at NYU's Stern School of Business
3. My majors are in marketing/ management
4. My financial knowledge/skills are relatively weak
So, it's true what they say:
it frequently takes luck, networking and charisma (many say I have that) to get inside a vc firm.
I also started a small business in the early 90s.
I hope to test the vc waters and improve/work on my financial knowledge/skills and see if I want to enter this career.
Good luck! |

Hi there...good for you! I have just arrived in the US and now job hunting. I am of Caribbean nationality and seeking a job in the VC business. How did you go about your networking? Any advice?
