VC Analyst Positions
I did some searching and couldn't find a ton, but I was trying to compile a list of VC firms that routinely take undergrads as analysts. Can anyone help?
So far I have:
Stripes Group
Insight Venture Partners
Bessemer Ventures
Bain Cap Ventures (well, they have one analyst currently)
Battery Ventures
Anyone know of any other ones?
Stripes is not hiring for full-time. The rest probably take just a handful (1-2), if they even routinely take Analysts. Best bet is to cold-email second/third/etc. tier VC firms, if you're set on VC out of college.
I agree with throwaway. From my knowledge (insert grain of salt here) VC is more top-heavy than even PE and takes fewer kids fresh out of undergrad.
I don't know anything about structured VC analyst programs, but I guarantee that with the right kind of outreach/networking you can carve out a spot for yourself at a smaller/younger VC firm. Just make sure you join a shop that can actually raise capital...
First Round sometimes hires Analyst out of college but they are always super driven kids with strong network within the start-up community and usually always out of Wharton.
VC firms are usually very top heavy. Its just the nature of the business.
Thank you very much everyone! Does anyone know of any other firms I should consider reaching out to, or really just email a bunch and see what happens?
Besides the ones you listed: Summit, Accel, and NEA have also hired undergrad analysts in the past.
Venture Capital straight from undergrad- MBA exit (Originally Posted: 03/21/2016)
Has anyone here worked in VC immediately after undergrad? Approaching the summer before my senior year of undergrad and I have an offer to work for a VC firm after graduation. Typically it's rare, but for those who did, what were your exit opps? Personally I plan on getting my MBA (probably after two years of full time work) and I'm hoping that working in VC straight out of undergrad will help me get into a top biz school especially because I'm from a non-target undergrad.
