Venture Capital Coaches, Events, and Resources

I worked in investment banking and growth equity for several years and have coached numerous candidates for jobs in these industries. I was actively involved with my firms' recruiting and hiring decisions and understand the process thoroughly; I was hired by the University of Michigan career center to coach students applying for investment banking jobs and have reviewed hundreds of resumes, cover letters and mock interviews; I have also spent many years working with non-profits such as Synergist to mentor college women interested in business and finance. I take a hands-on approach and strive to help every one of my clients reflect their best true potential.

I spent the last few years exploring how to pivot into VC particularly since the market took a turn. Ultimately, I was able to get an offer from my top choice dream fund. Through this process, I've seen how the experience differs across fund types, and can help think through what kinds of funds you're interested in, and how to target your efforts to secure an offer.
