Why Venture Capital might be your dream job?
Venture Capital, especially at the early stages, is not just about financial Excel sheets, not at all. It's a realm where your scientific background meets the world of startups and innovation. It's mainly about:
- Interacting with Fascinating People: Every day, you'll meet and assist entrepreneurs, each with a unique story and vision. Your role will be pivotal in shaping their journey. VC is (also) people business.
- Diverse Research Opportunities: Delve into a wide array of technologies. From groundbreaking deep tech innovations to AI applications, you’ll explore and understand different sectors. Your STEM/MINT background equips you with a unique lens to view these challenges.
- Understanding Market Dynamics: Analyze market trends and understand future needs. Your insights will help identify the next big thing in technology, your work can make a real impact on how we live and work. Your analytical skills, combined with a passion for understanding how the (business) world works, make you an ideal fit for this dynamic field.

The image of venture capital some people have in mind couldn’t be further from the truth. This field is not about boasting and more about pursuit of knowledge and understanding. The venture capital world, especially at the early stages, is inherently humbling. It calls for a profound understanding of personal biases and an unceasing appetite for learning. Here, success doesn't come from confidence, but from the skill to predict and manage the unknown.
