Awesome to see Lucia Polverino featured in Business Insider talking about how she landed a role in venture capital 👀 Some great advice Try varied careers to build experiences that will be relevant in a venture role Every VC fund is different so try to find one that fits your interests and skills (hint: pre-seed/seed is totally different to Series A+) Talk to recruiters who can help you find funds that are hiring and get your foot in the door - shout out to Jumpstart who helped Lucia and PER (Alex Horkan) who have helped us out many times Link to the article in the comments 👇 #venturecapital #careers #startups #technology #innovation #jobs

Has anyone else noticed how the venture capital and startup scenes seem to have a prevalent culture of cult-like exclusivity?
