Venture Capital 101: Players, Funds, and the Deal Process

Venture capital can feel opaque without a clear map of how firms operate and how deals actually get done.

You’ll leave with a practical understanding of how venture capital works and how to navigate conversations, recruiting, or founder interactions with greater confidence.
