What are the paths to VC (particularly healthcare centered VC's) from Management Consulting at PwC?

There are many paths to joining a VC firm, but the best is through a key role in a high profile, rocket ship startups. Even if it fails, that is a better route that from consulting.

There are very different skill sets between the two. While some former consulting partners have made that jump, it is about as rare as Moritz going from being a journalist to being at Sequoia as one of the most successful venture investors ever.

Remember the point of going to venture is not to become an associate. That role is not generally the path to partner in a venture firm anyway.

Via a startup, through being a equity analyst, key role at a transformational larger company; all better than via consulting.

There is no set path.

Health care venture has been held back for a number of years from a regulatory environment that favors incumbents. There is a believe that this is about to be turned on its ear.

P1 spot on

Nice joke OP

Who do I work with...

Thank you, Partner1! Really enjoyed reading your post and I'm sure others did too. What would you define as 1) a transformational role and 2) a larger company, in this context?
