What is to work for the likes of lightspeed sequoia or Accel or other top firms

Product Owner

Accel and Lightspeed are okay - low ownership 
  
 Sequoia has a very bad rep - know a lot of people at the junior level very keen to leave, complain of IB/PE culture

Community Manager

There is no best. Each VC firm is a character. Depends on who you gel with and who finds you to be resonating with their tribe.

Data Scientist

pitching to VCs is stressful. Which VC partner in India gives founders an ear and at the same time respectful, empathetic, intelligent during the pitch?

Is there a massive information asymmetry among VCs as well ? What is the level of fluidity in the system when it comes to information sharing ? What is the extent of damage, a few VCs opinion of a startup does to the start-ups fundraising capabilities?

What is the level of collusion among Indian VCs when it comes to passing confidential information as a gossip ?

VC here. Doing this for fun.
Don't take all views seriously.

Comment a startup's name, I'll share if it's promising or whatever I know

Hey everyone. 

Thought I could do an AMA. A bit about me - have 4 years of work experience and graduated from a non engineering college. Was at a startup before (from Series B to Series D) before becoming a VC

Personally look at consumer and B2B investments here 

Happy to answer any questions around life as a junior VC, startup ecosystem, career growth etc.

AMA: I work at a large VC Fund focusing on early stage investments

This is the biggest problem with VC ecosystem 4 yoe kids taking calls on experienced, hardworking founders. Dude first learn the game then invest , judge people playing the game. VCs know nothing about how to run startups. Unless they have been entrepreneurs themselves. IMO It's a colossal waste of talent to become a VC for young PPL.

Investment Associate

A bit about myself, I am working as a PM in an early stage B2C startup with 2.5 YOE which includes internships too. 

I was exploring finance out of curiosity and started loving it. Grasped few important concepts around valuation, thesis building, identifying crazy startups and much more. 

Also, started Venture Scouting for one of the tier-2 VCs in Europe. 

I am looking to switch to a analyst role in of the VCs which focuses on B2C investments in insurtech, AI, and fintech. 

What would be the best possible ways to reach to Indian Tier 2 VCs, and what are the other things that I can do to stand out strong? 

Need help and thanks in advance.

Switch From PM -> VC

I have some money to invest and knowledge about startups and funding.
Is it enough for me to be a VC or I've to join some VC firm or take a course?
