Clear teachings that provided insights from both sides of the table. Highly recommended.
The course gave an intensive overview of a VC and its inner workings. Anyone who wants to run their own fund or wants to understand why VCs do what they do should attend.
Quest’s team dedication to put everything together is so much appreciated. The course is filled with young talent from diverse backgrounds which creates valuable peer learning experiences. We love the way Quest team is very “down-to-earth” and open to share their knowledge and experience. I would highly recommend this course to university students, young professionals, and entrepreneurs who want step into venture capital for a rewarding career or for nailing your fundraising. Big thanks to Quest’s efforts and engagement to help the Southeast Asia startup ecosystem thrive!
Good comprehensive overview for someone exploring and entering the venture capital industry. James Tan is very knowledgeable, insightful, and introspective — truly a special privilege to learn from him!
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.
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.
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.
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.
