Transition from Product Management to Venture Capital- Grapevine

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

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.

What are the usual exits people opt for? Are PE VCs a thing?

Potential exits from Product

Yoe: 2 years
Tc:32 lpa fixed.
Bg: top 5 IIT, 2 years of PM experience where I led two major 0-1 products to completion independently and had a direct revenue impact of around 25 Cr.
At a crossroad in my career where a top partner in a tier 1/2 VC firm wants me join his investment team (nothing concrete, just expressed his interest in a gathering). Was curious as to how the VC career ladder looks like! I was always interested in a VC career. Just afraid, whether there will be any exit options say 5 years down the line if I want to move out or get stuck. 
All advice, opinion, help will be appreciated. Thanks!

PM vs VC track.

With over 10+ years of experience in Product management within the insurance and Fintech sector, I’ve realized that product management is still not understood/defined well as a role. I’m open to all sort of queries.

I want to transition to the PM

Site Reliability

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I am part of core product team in fintech. Looking to move into management consulting. How to?

PM to consult?

So, I have been working at one of these marquee high-growth startups for the last couple of years. On the side, I am also working on my own idea for the past couple of months & was about to put in my papers. 

However, today I got to know that I might be getting laid off (50% chance). This got me thinking, should I stay and get the severance (I could really use the money as I'm starting up) or the lay off tag will be a turn off / put my competency in doubt in a VC's mind? 
Money is important to me, but not so much that I spoil my future chances. 

Any perspective from people who have faced a similar situation or someone working with a VC is highly appreciated, thanks!

What stops you from *stealing* an idea that you found mind-blowing from a pitch of a startup trying to get a seed funding?

Hi! 
Trying to understand the role of marketers in a VC. Trying to make a transition from startup into the vc game; other than employee branding and marketing, how closely do the marketers get to work with portfolio companies; if at all. What else do they do?
