Is working in VC Ops for a T10 Series A fund a good opportunity? This would be an internship preMba. I’m making a career shift as a vet and looking to land a VC investor role post b school (ideally HS) Anecdotally I understand seed and series A VC is very network based so this would be a chance to meet great folks, but ultimately not the investing experience I’m hoping for. Other internship options include start-up or consulting.

Look at your future horizon and how the role will set you up to what YOU want to do.

VC, you’ll learn the ropes and know how to connect the dots in business. Startups rn might honestly NOT be the best considering CF comes from VC/PE, hence my personal Rec. Ultimately, it’s what YOU make of the opportunity.

Appreciate the insight

Very specific question requires very specific feedback - I’d reach out to other vets in VC to get their thoughts. I don’t think you’re going to get useful replies here; much harder to give “general” advice on VC vs PE in my opinion.

Appreciate it! From thorough LinkedIn research, unfortunately it seems the Vet network is very minimal in VC
( < 4 found in the Sequoia / a16z category )

Depends on what “Ops” entails, the sectors that the VC fund invests in and your expertise and network in that space, as well as what Bschoo this is
