If you want to exit consulting for VC, is it important to have DD experience? I’m a Biochem PhD and have worked exclusively for healthcare companies (mostly biopharma).

It’s helpful, because it’s the closest thing to the investments side of the job. VCs still need to run diligence at the end of the day, especially in later stage VC (less of a focus in early stage for obvious reasons)

I wouldn’t say it’s a requirement but definitely a nice to have

Yeah, but market DD is still helpful - presumably you guys still do company positioning within the market vs just the market? And look at potential disrupters, tailwinds, value creation strategy, and all that?

We don’t really get into financial or accounting due diligence at Bain, but PEG experience really helps with PE/VC exits, at least from my peers. So much of evaluating a company is knowing how to evaluate a sector, screen within it, and ask the right questions to figure out how a company is situated. The financial stuff is obviously very important but I think you rely more on comps and would get a decent feel for what numbers can justify an investment on the job (for VC, it’s often unit economics and cash flow that you focus on, then if those check out, you look at pricing).

But as I’m sure you know, so much of entering VC is about networking - so that’s going to be your biggest driver here.

They did not mention when someone performing a particular role was a man but they did point out when it's a woman, happened about four times. Odd, no? What would you make of this?
