Severin’s Venture Capital Qualifications

Experience level: Associate

I help candidates break into venture capital with a process that matches how VC hiring actually works today (high signal applications, credible investing point of view, and sharp interview performance). I am a London-based VC investor with prior M&A advisory experience at Strategy&. I have moved through the recruiting path recently, and I know what firms screen for now (commercial judgement, structured thinking, and written clarity). I coach across Analyst to Associate and post-MBA entry points, including role transitions from consulting, banking, startup ops, and product. I support candidates with: Role targeting and strategy (fund types, stage focus, thesis fit, realistic pipeline); CV and LinkedIn (VC positioning, quantified impact, investment relevance); Cover letters and outreach (high-conversion cold emails, warm intro asks, follow-ups); Investing case studies (market maps, thesis writing, memo structure, deal screening); Interview prep (fit, technicals, market sizing, sourcing, and partner-style questions); “Why VC” narrative (credible edge, compounding story, and clean articulation) If you want a repeatable system, sharp prep, and interview readiness, I can help you run an efficient process and materially improve hit rate.

About Severin

I am a UK-based coach helping high-ambition candidates win competitive outcomes across three tracks: university admissions, strategy consulting, and venture capital. Academically, I graduated from Durham University (Geography) with a First Class (78), ranked 4th in my year, and then completed a Master’s at the University of Cambridge, graduating with a Distinction (76), ranked 11th in my year. I moved through these admissions processes recently, so my guidance reflects the current standards and expectations, not legacy playbooks. Professionally, I earned multiple offers from top strategy consulting firms, joined Strategy&, and progressed rapidly, being promoted to Senior Associate in just over a year. I later exited into venture capital in London, giving me direct, current insight into how top firms assess candidates and make decisions. My coaching is practical and high signal. I work with clients on: University admissions: personal statements, course and university selection, admissions tests, and interview preparation; Strategy consulting: CV and cover letters, case interview structuring and maths, fit interviews, and final-round partner prep; Venture capital: VC positioning, outreach and networking, investing case studies, thesis, and interview preparation If you want clear direction, rigorous feedback, and output that reads credibly to selectors, I can help you execute a process that materially improves your odds.
