Hey All! As I mentioned in the video, banking is one of the best ways to break into VC. I spent a lot of time putting together an investment banking recruiting guide + also have my resume / cover letters available for sale at the link below. Feel free to check it out!

Ben! Just wanted to say a huge thank you for these VC related videos. I start my VC internship in January and coming from a medical school background your videos have been so potent in bridging the gaps in my knowledge circles. Thanks sir! Keep up the great work!

Dude honestly great job with your metrics, your compensation breakdown is highly accurate (from experience)

Thank you for this video! I'm applying to Accel for a high school internship, hope I get in!

VCs need to look abroad for startups and market

Would be cool if you made a similar video with corporate finance roles

Could you give some examples of reputable VC’s ex IB analysts would consider joining?

[barryaherne]

That's interesting - a lot of the pros seem to more in line with the autonomy of entrepreneurship you've taken through YouTube and rareliquid (talking control over your work, doing all of the research on companies, getting exposure to founders and start-ups etc) rather than something like investment banking, so this looked right up your street. Was there ever the temptation to switch, were you happy with IB, or is there more to it than that?

Also, when is the Series A round for rareliquid coming? 😀haha

Someone breakdown the 80-90 hours. Doesn’t make sense it’s everyday. People have families?

I highly advise to stay away from these cockroaches
