Getting into Venture Capital

I was wondering if anyone here has experience with the VC route. I just graduated college and my SA position for a REPE firm just got turned virtual with consideration for full time during 2021 summer. I have always been interested in working for a VC firm but never seen to find open positions.

Do VC firms only hire out of mba programs? If so, which programs are feeders into these firms? What is my best route to cracking in the industry?

Venture Capital Mock Interview

“"Sam was incredibly helpful during our mock interview session. Not only is he a genuinely nice person who creates a comfortable environment, but he also provided me with highly actionable feedback on my answers. When I prep by myself, I often find myself falling into rabbit holes and overcomplicating things without realizing that my approach might be wrong. Sam immediately recognized these pitfalls and pointed them out clearly. His direct guidance on how to structure my answers has given me a concrete path forward, helping me avoid spinning my wheels on inefficient preparation methods. I really appreciate his constructive criticism and look forward to implementing these changes immediately”
