The Skills That Get You Hired at a VC Firm [9/29/2026] (Recording)

Venture capital does not have a standard recruiting pipeline the way banking or consulting does, which means most people trying to break in are guessing at what actually gets them hired. This workshop covers what the hiring side is actually looking for: how junior hires build credibility fast, usually through sourcing instincts and clear investment reasoning rather than enthusiasm for startups, and how to get in front of the right people when most roles never get posted. Niki spent over a decade as a General Partner at Felicis, evaluating founders and, by extension, the people funds choose to hire. That perspective is useful here: what separates a candidate who gets a second conversation from one who does not often comes down to specifics most applicants overlook.
