Transition from private credit to VC
Hi all, I want an opinion on a prospective job opportunity which has come up for me. I am currently working in a PE firm. I mostly work on large deals and the work is not front-end. I end up running large excel models and presenting the results to internal teams and it has become hella boring.
I got an opportunity to work in a new VC fund that plans to invest in seed to series A fashion brands. Its within a large corporate house and the opportunity looks good given that its providing me a break into VC. However, I don't have any experience in fashion/apparel and I don't know whether the fund will succeed given its brand new. I have about 8 yrs on experience in finance and have worked in valuations/modelling space primarily. Please help me make a decision.
