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.

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