There are some events on inc42 website, you can check that. Although, very costly.
Do a startup. Get a good EXIT then become a VC. People who never were founders are shitty VCs ( Vinod Khosla talked about this in his podcast) I totally agree
Assuming you want to become an angel investor (and not join a VC firm); reach out and enroll yourself as an LP on syndicates on the Angel List platform.
Reach out and meet/chat with the fund managers of these syndicates and try to be a part of the deal evaluation process for at least 6-8 startups from various sectors.
After this experience (~1 year); you can access deal flow on platforms like Angel List and Let’s Venture and start investing.
Plan to invest 45-60L across 15-20 startups over next 5 years for optimal exposure.
Assuming you're trying to transition from something like an Uber PM to Analyst,
You should try creating a couple of thesis- market studies, make investment cases for companies and send them across to VP/Partners.
Depends on what you're trying to achieve. Do you want to invest your own money as an angel or interested in pursuing this as a career?
I am in my early twenties-I have an offer from top tier VC. My heart is in building, I want to be a part of a 0 to 1 but not able to find an exciting startup! What would you do in my place ? Presently in a consulting firm - 2 years in!
Do you find high quality, with strong operator experience? I'm a bits21 grad looking to start up and wanted to get a lay of the land. Either funds or VC partner names!
I’m looking to get in touch with VC firms and incubators. How should we approach them?
Go ahead, ask if we pushed founders to commit fraud.
What stops you from *stealing* an idea that you found mind-blowing from a pitch of a startup trying to get a seed fun...
