There are far, far better ways to make money… and this is coming from someone who’s done quite well.

Generating real alpha at a hedge fund, joining PE firm that’s got a real edge in a niche, buying up and professionalizing poorly run legacy companies… the list goes on and on.

As someone who hasn’t done quite well yet I can tell you that VC is definitely not a fast way to make money. You have to get lucky to some extent but to truly create generational wealth, you need to have GP economics in multiple funds. Which means you’ll need to likely be in the game for 10+ years

I’m interested in making something successful

How about you?

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? Is there a template or format I should use? Tips & things to be mindful of will be extremely helpful!

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?
