Consulting has basically no value to a VC fund

It's possible through networking but will require lots of effort for you to build a network and track record that VCs will find valuable

It’s not hard to break into VC if you have several hundred million to start your own VC fund.

Exceptionally difficult. Why do you want to be in VC other than the money?

If you’re an MBB consultant in tech, biopharma, healthcare aiming for an established US-based firm, very hard (with exception for some tenured Partners+). Otherwise, largely impossible.

Are you friends with people in VC? It’s a lot of who you know
