    Job Search Expectations


    • Internship and Job Opportunities: Most opportunities will come through off-campus
    recruiting efforts. VC firms will often post jobs on Career Account, but very few host
    corporate presentations and other functions on campus.

    • Networking is critical: Much of the legwork for landing a position in a VC firm will be
    through networking, so get out there and network. Attending applicable alumni, student
    club, and professional association events and meeting professionals in the industry is the
    most important factor for obtaining a position.

    • Most firms look for a combination of strong technical finance skills coupled with a
    passion for entrepreneurship: The nature of the VC industry lends itself towards
    understanding the funding needs of start-up companies while also being able to identify
    potential targets in high-growth industries.
