Hi everyone! Immigration to the US question here: I’m a Canadian who wants to move to New York for personal reasons. Tried going the TN visa-for-consulting route, but no traction (we all know how good it was in consulting in the past two years). Has anyone had experience immigrating via TN for a finance job? Or other types of permits? I found that outside tech firms generally don’t touch you if you need an H1B.

TN is not the usual route for investors.

I’ve seen people try the O1 visa path, since being an investor you already have access to the tools to get the prerequisites down (press, carry to inflate pay, etc.)

Thanks. In your experience, do funds start bothering with sponsorships after a certain level like Principal or Partner, or Associate+ could work too?

And how would you differentiate this vs “a time when you worked in a team”

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?

Looking to do a career pivot into VC. Have 12+ years of B2B tech marketing experience with IBM, Google, Deloitte and a number of startups.

Thoughts are to join as a marketing expert and learn unique VC investment philosophy. Any advice on how to break into the VC world? Just started networking/planning.
