Investment banking and private equity have very standard resume formats, but I have not come across anything similar for venture capital. I was curious if there was a boilerplate template I should follow for VC - specifically at the Seed/Series A stage.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Ignore title. Depends on how your work is structured. I had 4 major super-bullets/sections for sourcing stats / methodology (high level no secret sauce), deal list, portfolio value creation projects, and then other general fund admin work (eg fundraising support, thesis building papers on company site, etc.)
I appreciate the response! That all makes sense to me and sounds like our day-to-day is fairly similar. Will likely structure it a similar way and keep my eye out for other examples as I see them.
Ignore title as well. I'm trying to tailor my current resume (PE heavy) to follow more of a VC/GE format, similar to yours. Do you have an example you can share by chance. No worries if not. In general, what you mean by sourcing stats? Is that the actual number of deals you sourced? Similar with deal list? Thanks.
I don't. Yes it's similar to deal list. It's basically just the deals I sourced, the deals I didn't source but worked on, the portfolio projects I did that were discrete work projects and not just giving random bullshit words to my founders. That kind of stuff. Also some pipeline e.g., showing I can drum up business volume.
