Exit opportunities at venture builders?

I'm currently working in tech strategy and would like to jump to a venture builder like BCG Digital Ventures or Leap by McKinsey.

Do you know any other firms like that?

I like the work in consulting, but I'm hating corporate, larg orgs and bureaucracy bs.

I love startups and creating things from scratch but would like to work somewhere where I can learn & play with some big firm's money before using my own.

Any firms? Don't wanna do 10+hrs/day either

If you don’t want to do 10+ hours a day McK is not for you, and I suspect BCG won’t be either.

Sounds like a VC firm with an incubator would be the way to go. You can work with multiple startups as a content expert, and eventually dip your toes in as a co-founder before you fully build your own thing

I've checked on LinkedIn in the US for 'incubator', 'venture builder, etc., and not too much shows up.

In fact, YC doesn't even list any jobs in there, like BCGDV and Leap. I wonder if the roles are just scarce, or if they hire through other means.

What do folks at BCG dv do? I was pinged by an recruiter but but got cold feet because it seemed like a specialist track

like

Depends on the specific role: a fair number are client facing specialists (designers / user researchers / PMs / growth marketers) but the Venture Architect cohort typically does similar work to the generalist track (ex. GTM strategy, business model design, investment case)

Had the exact same thought, joined BCG DV, and have found it to be an incredible experience so far - highly recommend

Re. hours: depends on the case and the cohort (in general the roles that are more closely analogous to the standard consulting track can be pretty similar hours-wise). Re. ownership: 100%, we usually deliver MVPs in addition to slides / models etc.

We explicitly hire Venture Builder role, it's a pretty cool job (including direct elect partner level).
