MM IB to VC possible?
I’m approaching my 1st year as a lower MM IB analyst and really would like to switch to VC or PE. Main component of this transition is location as my current city is shit. Is it even possible to make it to VC from Lower MM IB?

Absolutely, it's possible to transition from lower middle market investment banking (MM IB) to venture capital (VC). Many VC firms value the financial modeling skills and deal experience that investment banking analysts bring to the table. However, it's important to note that VC also requires a strong understanding of technology and market trends, so you'll want to demonstrate your interest and knowledge in these areas as well.
As for location, VC firms are not just in the traditional tech hubs like Silicon Valley or New York. There are growing VC scenes in many cities across the U.S., especially in the Midwest. So, you might have more options than you think!
Remember, networking is key in making this transition. Start reaching out to people in the VC industry, attend industry events, and consider joining VC-related groups or associations. Good luck with your career transition!
