This program is really useful for those who are passionate about startups, providing a comprehensive and in-depth look into the field of venture capital.
The VCA marks the beginning of a new journey for anyone looking to change the course of their life.
Venture Capital Accelerated was a great crash course on the needs and requirements of VCs. From a start up perspective, it’s useful to know what VCs are looking for and what ultimately drives these firms. This makes it easier to align interests and work better together. From a startup enabler perspective, this helps us match companies and investors better.
I am grateful for the opportunity to learn the technical aspects of how a VC fund operates. Thank you Quest Ventures.
I learned both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of VC through the course. I recommend this if you are joining a fund or even starting one.
A huge win for me is that I am now able to have in-depth conversations on VC and startups. This course has sparked an interest which I intend to continue.
This course has paved the way for many individuals to begin their career in venture capital. From teaching the fundamentals to getting prominent speakers to share their extensive knowledge to the invaluable opportunity to apply what we have learnt on a real startup, attending this course was 100% worth it.
The VCA was a game-changer for me as a startup founder. It will help me navigate the fundraising process confidently. An absolute must-attend for any entrepreneur seeking to understand and succeed.
