VC Educational Resources

Hi all! I just graduated college and started full-time at a VC/growth equity firm. It's a small company so there's less formal training, but they give us $2,000 every year to expense to "further our education" (as well as permission to do this during working hours). I graduated in finance/accounting so I feel like my accounting skills are up to par, but I don't want this money to go to waste. I can literally use it on anything- online courses, books, conferences, etc. so just looking for as many ideas as possible to put this money to good use! Anyone have ideas beyond the usual Wall Street Prep?

 

Well that's a cool perk to get lol. I think spending it on attending conferences that you think would be super cool and educational to attend would be a great investment + a strong way to build your network. An uncommon class to take that I think would help immensely is a social skill program; not to say you aren't socially adept already but turning it into a toolset can make you quite deadly as a VC

Can speak more on various resources if you're interested. Just DM me
