Urgent Advice Needed - Accelerator to VC?
Hello guys.
About me, completing MSc in Life Science/Management at UK target, and graduated in Hard Science/Management from different target. Work experience is mainly in non-financial healthcare (currently a psychotherapist), but had a strategy internship with a leading broadcaster.
Currently trying to break into Healthcare VC, but was advised to get more financial experience. I have alumni and people which I could contact via cold emails/phone calls (about 30), but given the former I should maybe wait until I'm worth talking to.
Now for the main point, was offered a placement with an accelerator (need to reply by 6pm GMT today - 08/03/2018), could last 2-4 months. Still trying to gauge their reach, but seem like top 3 or so in the UK for life sciences. Do you guys think the experience could be useful for direct entry to VC? and if that fails, would traditional banking value this assuming I instead divert to IB? Thanks guys.
I think it could only help either way. It's a pretty reasonable stepping stone directionally towards traditional VC and would probably be viewed as an interesting plus from the IB perspective. Just keep in mind that 2-4 months isn't going to give you a lot of experience to leverage
Thanks, I realise the 2-4 months is probably limited. I've delayed graduation to get further experience, so if during these 2-4 months I make no progress, I'll get another advisory internship for 2 months and then apply for off-cycles. Landing the off-cycle in IB, should hopefully make my experience/story more appealing to alumni/recruiters. However this entire path seems so inconvenient.
