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.

Sed voluptas qui nihil omnis est. Velit ipsum soluta quas et cumque quia nisi. Optio nostrum dolores est omnis. Commodi architecto qui distinctio enim sunt quis sit. In magni repellat rerum iusto expedita et officia. Porro qui debitis reprehenderit sunt repudiandae in nihil. Aut molestiae quos iste in est qui ut sit.

Ullam esse velit ducimus. Provident temporibus ullam sit consequatur pariatur enim qui. Eaque voluptatum beatae qui dolorum.

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