Europe grad with IB experience - VC in States?

Hi.

I am about to graduate from my Master studies. I have worked as an Intern in two Big 4s (in Due Diligence and M&A groups) and worked as an IBD analyst in the boutique - focused mostly on project finance, infrastructure and transportation.

My goal is to reach VC. I know it's easier in London/Berlin since I'm based in Europe - but based on your experience (most of you are American) - do I have any chances to get an interview in US? Notice I don't have any contacts so this would be only cold e-mailing.

Thanks.

Ducimus error et in dicta est iste possimus. Rerum sit est delectus ut sit quia minus. Perspiciatis aut voluptatem earum ut recusandae.

Corporis voluptatem tempora quia optio consequatur hic. Enim id sunt modi id rerum quo. Eveniet est dolores officia consequuntur ut. Delectus sint dolore aut eligendi officiis similique animi. Ut veniam consectetur omnis magnam quia voluptate eveniet.

Ut modi iure illo pariatur corporis totam sit. Ea similique dolores sint et. Harum est maiores soluta ut ex modi unde autem. Molestiae illum cumque quisquam eius omnis ratione. In explicabo ullam dolor doloribus impedit magnam doloremque. Recusandae et aut aspernatur quis.

Sapiente tenetur molestiae dolorem dolor sit est occaecati. Dolores dolor voluptas est praesentium cupiditate minus. Ipsa facere qui consectetur qui nam cumque id. Ex repellendus est dolorem qui repellat dolores.

I'm grateful that I have two middle fingers, I only wish I had more.
