Breaking into venture capital is hard -- especially without the banking or consulting path. I went through dozens of interviews, technical cases, and partner conversations before landing investor roles, and I understand firsthand what it takes to stand out in a competitive process with out a traditional background. I have experience across early-stage VC and fintech product management at Citi. As a coach, I focus on helping candidates translate their unique backgrounds into compelling stories, prepare for cases with confidence, and develop the frameworks that interviewers are really looking for. If you’re trying to break into VC (especially from a non-traditional background) I can help you navigate the process and land the role.
