Venture Capital applications in London

Hi Guys,

I am looking to break into VC in London and didn’t find much information out there. My background is MSc in Finance from non elite uni. After I graduated, I won my uni start up competition and working as residential entrepreneur at the uni incubator since 2020. My start up is in sustainability (not tech related), its main purpose is for my passion for ESG, sounds corny on this forum but yea. I want to gain more exposure and build up my rapport in the start up eco system and decided to join VC world. I did my research and seems like its a route a lot of entrepreneurs are following, to have a VC jobs while building their own startups. 


As i havent been working in finance nor have experience working for other people, i find it really difficult to start the job application. Would anyone recommend any helpful services (like CV writting, mock interview,..)? 


VC jobs don’t seem to have a lot of structure like usual finance jobs so i feel a bit out of place.

Thank you so much in advance xoxo
