How can I try to get into VC? Particularly tough tech and things like robotics, automation, transportation, etc. I’m currently at T2 consulting in industrials and I’ve tried networking with a few VC firms in this space, but no luck.

Bingo, they want folks who know the space in and out, both expertise and thesis as well literally knowing people at all the startups, Build this network and this knowledge, prove you can bring deal flow. Do whatever position in the interim that allows for this. Are you in the bay area? Helpful to be there physically. Joining a startup might be better, depends on the types of client relationships you are building at your consulting firm.

Would it be better to eventually try joining a tech startup (as the tech world recovers a bit) or stay the course in T2 consulting. In general, I’m not in a rush to switch.

How early for the above roles? < Series B?

I need some guidance on this situation.

I sublease an apartment from a friend who is currently in Jail unfortunately. I wasn’t in the lease and the apartment found out from my personal check which I paid for the rent.

They refused the rent and after the three day notification has passed they refused the cashier’s check here in Orange County.

The apartment has put him up for eviction and I feel bad about this cos it was cost savings. Is there anything I can do to save this?
