At a high level, I think it covers a lot of the key topics one would need to both understand VC as well as get prepared for an interview. Narration is great, the instructor seems approachable and explains things in an easy to use manner. I think it's definitely something that would be additive to someone preparing/interviewing for an entry level VC role.
Just wanted to say I really enjoyed the venture course on WSO. Really insightful and was able to get through it in two days with the format!
