Of course. But ycomb isn’t the top vc pipeline it used to be

There really isn’t one source. Mostly still based on your network and credentials and pitch. Several VCs now have their own scouts program. Ycomb companies will always get a look of course but I think some VCs discriminate against them a bit for being too high profile (so not “proprietary” enough of a deal)

Hey! I have applied to an entry level investment associate in a venture capital firm in my country. As part of the process they will send me some real pitch decks and I will need to do 1-pager investment thesis for each one. I have never done that in the past. Can you please guide me?

I am currently a year from finishing my PhD and was looking at VC's as a career path because I like to do meta-analysis of different climate change techs. I networked with VCs and one of them was receptive but didn't have the budget currently for a full time hire. They said they'd be interested in working with me to do a research paper over the coming semester, and was wondering if I could leverage this into a full time offer?

Is a white paper with a VC going to be attractive on my CV?
