As a venture capitalist at Jump Capital, I have evaluated hundreds of startup business plans and pitches. This gives me deep insight into what makes for an appealing venture funding proposal. My network across VC firms provides inside knowledge of what investors look for during the recruiting and fundraising process. Having successfully navigated business school applications and secured roles in consulting and venture capital myself, I understand the challenges applicants face. My on-the-ground experience allows me to offer valuable guidance at every step, from crafting essays to acing interviews. Whether you are aiming for a top MBA program or building a career in consulting or VC, I have the qualifications to help you get there.

Welcome to my profile! I am currently an Associate Investor of Venture Capital at Interplay with previous experience as an Investment Banker at Barclays and a degree from Dartmouth College in Economics and Government. In addition to my professional experience, I have coached over 18 individuals, helping them navigate the venture capital landscape and achieve their goals. Navigating venture capital recruiting is an especially difficult task. Unlike most positions in finance or tech, there is no well known recruiting path for VC. Both the application and interview process are extremely opaque and vary greatly from fund to fund. On top of all that, VC recruiting is incredibly competitive and notoriously hard to break into. My experience, both from recruiting and from working in VC, has given me unique insight into the industry. I want to use this experience to bring transparency to the recruiting process and to help people pursue a career in venture. Let's connect and discuss how I can help you reach your venture capital aspirations.
