An intense but fulfilling crash course with a wide variety of speakers and invaluable insights! The welcoming and candid environment where all questions are welcomed really helps to clarify the intricacies of the VC world that are not commonly known.
Genuinely impressed by how transparent James Tan was in his sharing – it’s refreshing!
Proactive participants and case studies in the region gave me additional knowledge. I love how it turned out – definitely a good program!
James and the team are great lecturers. The sessions are practical and relatable even in the Philippine context. Excited to apply what we’ve learned in our own programs.
Loved being part of Venture Capital Accelerated! Even after working in the startup industry for many years, I learned a lot and it was fantastic to get an inside look to how other VCs operate and what the gold standard looks like. I will definitely be putting this knowledge to use.
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.
I am grateful for the opportunity to learn the technical aspects of how a VC fund operates. Thank you Quest Ventures.
Quest Ventures VCA is perhaps the most practical and high impact insider insight to VC in Southeast Asia. James and the team were incredibly generous in sharing what they know and how to get things done. We look forward to collaborating with Quest to grow the VC ecosystem.
