What are my chances of getting into HBS, Stanford or Warthon after being an analyst at a small regional VC shop (very reputable firm)?
Are they better or worst than after BB I-Banking?
What else should I consider?
What other areas should I strengthen? |

Past 2-3 yrs. after college (top Ivy) have been working at small VC firm as analyst. I've learned a lot about business development/sourcing deals and analysis/due diligence of early-stage dealflow. Only problem is that we are shoring off our current investments and not really doing a whole lot now. I'm ready to do something new and challenging.
I'm shooting for a top B-school in the next 2 yrs. but am uncertain about how my past experience (softer skill set than bankers) would factor into it. Would like to get some operational experience at a startup but am somewhat risk-adverse in current market conditions given that I haven't saved much money the past 2 yrs. Would appreciate any advice from someone who's done VC before B-School, the track they took there and what they might be doing now.
Thanks,
IC
