How Best to Highlight VC Experience for VC/PE/IB Roles?

What accomplishments would VC/PE/IB recruiters value most? I've done lots at my current firm, I simply dont know what to highlight


Here are some highlights Im thinking about including right now:

Identified over X potential investment opportunities, resulting in X successful portfolio additions, and $X committed capital.

Created and implemented an application to automate competitive research, reducing manual analysis time by >4 hours weekly for analysts.

Engineered and integrated advanced features into the firm’s deal flow management system, significantly enhancing the ability to efficiently track and prioritize potential investments.

Played a pivotal role in securing $XM during the firm’s latest fundraising round by co-designing the Limited Partner pitch deck and presenting it to limited partners.

What other accomplishments/areas should I highlight? I've done a lot more at this firm than just this stuff.

 

Consequatur aut dolorem magnam placeat itaque nisi eaque. Qui vitae nam iure minima soluta consectetur sequi. Modi deserunt quia ipsam sed.

Ipsa magni quidem eius qui. Id ut debitis dolores consequatur nemo quaerat. Fuga suscipit doloremque distinctio illo aperiam. Unde quo fuga pariatur odit aut inventore quibusdam. Deleniti in nobis pariatur quia delectus debitis aliquid incidunt.
