Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hey folks, I've cleared my interview to join a VC fund as an analyst in Bangalore ($150-200 Million AUM). Happy to answer any questions about the process or doubts the community might have.

Got an Analyst role at a VC fund! AMA

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.

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

VC with 5+ yrs of exp - AMA

Community Manager

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.

Profile:

- Tier 1 engineering UG
- ~ 3 years work-ex across B2B SaaS as PM + biz generalist

Specific sectors of interest: SaaS, AI, Dev tooling/ Infra

Any specific advise on how to approach firms for entry-level roles? Barely see any listings on LinkedIn / other job boards

How to break into venture capital?

I want to switch my job profile from product role to VC (Investment Analyst, Associate) but not able to see any job openings. Also, what are the questions asked in the interview for such profile.

I have 1 year of experience and open to both tier I and tier II VCs.

Any VC that is hiring currently?

I used to work as an analyst with a VC fund prior to this startup stint. I chose this role because I would get exposure to how debt is treated in the startup ecosystem. When I was on boarded, it was clear that I needed to scout my deals, analyse the documents and see how things go through till the money is disbursed to the startup. Now, a new head has been hired who is a sales person. He expects us to not curate deals but make 150 calls a day and just play the game of quantity and not quality. It’s been not even 3 months here (I have performed better than the people who joined with me or maybe even a couple of months before). 

Q. How should I tackle this because I am not a sales person at all  

Q. How should I approach the founder, who is fairly egoistic and does not like it when people do not agree with his ideas?
