Best use of time- Venture Capital
I currently work at a MM bank in the Sponsors group (unfortunately, not one that emphasizes modeling etc) located in the midwest/southeast. I have a fair amount of free time on my hands (group emphasizes face time) and a serious interest in the VC/startup scene (biotech emphasis). I’ve got a few ideas for things I can to *slightly* mitigate the host of issues that stand between me and the VC world:
1) Learn some code (have already started and yes, I’m aware that I’m not going to have enough time to become a serious programmer. Just want to display interest and I actually enjoy it)
2) Do independent research on a relevant industry and publish on seeking alpha-type site
3) Work with start-ups (already providing some informal financial advising to a SF startup)
Does anyone have any additional suggestions for stuff I could do that would be worth the time or better than my current ideas?
* aware of the low % of succeeding, again, this is time that isn’t productive or available for networking/fun
I'm going to disagree on the networking, you can always draft outreach emails and follow ups. Especially on follow ups you can always get in a ten minute call along with dinner.
Understood and agreed- Maybe it would be better to say that I'm doing the networking via calls/email that I can, but more extensive stuff (i.e. coffee etc) is hard to swing in the 6 p.m. to 11p.m range I'm focusing on in the post.
