Find the thesis published by another VC and then go talk to them :)
If you have access talking to investment bankers/equity research can also be helpful and they are always keen to talk to VC people (although more on the growth side)

Talk to people in it!

Or look at reddit...

Chat gpt.

I am currently a year from finishing my PhD and was looking at VC's as a career path because I like to do meta-analysis of different climate change techs. I networked with VCs and one of them was receptive but didn't have the budget currently for a full time hire. They said they'd be interested in working with me to do a research paper over the coming semester, and was wondering if I could leverage this into a full time offer?

Is a white paper with a VC going to be attractive on my CV?
