Strong (A-) brand in VC, good resume bullet, take it. They are good investors.
What are some A level brands? Thanks
Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz.
I would think of it not only as the brands but as the investors themselves. You see some people like Mary Meeker who are in and of themselves brands more than their firms (Bond, and by the way, Mary Meeker about is as good as it gets though more growthy). There are firms like Benchmark, which are great, but people like Bill Gurley precede their firms. Here is a great article illustrating how I would think about it: https://a16z.com/2010/04/06/ron-conway-explained/
To quickly rattle off your question though, I would consider A level brands (with no dispute) to be Lightspeed, Benchmark, Sequoia, Bond (though again they are later venture/growth). I personally see USV as an A level brand but others may not. I used to get lunch with the GGV guys and their returns are absolutely insane so I might put them as A as well.
I think a lot of people would also say A16Z, Accel, and Founders Fund. I personally consider Bessemer and NEA a step below because of how their firm works, culture, returns, etc.,
LMAO "A-"

Anyone get an email response back / interview after submitting yet?
No - have you?
does anyone know what 1st round interviews look like for the fellowship program? thanks.
Did you hear back?
yes
Has anyone else heard back?
no are we going to get rejection emails? has anyone else heard back?
Pretty sure nobody has heard back, I know a few top tier caliber people who haven't either.
I 100% have lol - not to flex but (some of) first rounds are out
what are the first round interviews going to be like? and have they already given out all invites or is that ongoing
Can anyone provide some insight into the application process for this program? Says that applications for the Fall 2020 cohort are closed, does anyone know when the next app kicks in? Next year or next semester?
Next year
Got it, thanks!
