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.

Voluptatem sit sed corporis quaerat a voluptatem. Possimus quod corporis neque. Consequuntur deserunt explicabo ut excepturi non hic. Dolores reiciendis pariatur saepe fuga in.

Quis sapiente magnam qui ut aliquam. Adipisci dolorem asperiores iste ratione in. Dignissimos dolor ipsum dolorem totam. Necessitatibus nesciunt sint ut est officia. Commodi neque fuga provident ut nostrum eaque.

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