Last week, we hosted our 16th Emerging Manager Office Hours (EMOH) program in Detroit, in partnership with @Renaissance Venture Capital’s UnDemo Day! We convened 25 emerging managers, who met with 6 LPs, 6 experienced GPs, and 6 industry advisors across 100 curated meetings. Read more about it here: https://t.co/gXK4csCnDO

A big thank you to all the LP and experienced GP hosts who generously volunteered their time and expertise. We also want to extend our gratitude to our program partners—@Cooley LLP, @Sydecar, and @Silicon Valley Bank—for their continued support in advancing the success of a new and diverse generation of GPs.

Venture is difficult to navigate as there is no standardized approach; everyone in the field seems to have their own unique way in.

Without a traditional path, many get lost and lose traction as there is no structure to how they learn.

VC University is that structured approach.

VC University brings the pieces together so your time actually compounds.

Final week to register: https://t.co/id3Go8RlQQ

[Venture Forward @VCForward]

Getting into venture is one step. Building momentum is harder.

VC University alumni:
37% advanced their careers
43% work in VC or LP roles
45% invested in companies
26% raised or deployed capital

Progress in VC takes time. Structure helps.

Registration for Cohort 23 closes at the end of this month.

There isn't just one way to build a great venture career.

That's why VC University brings together leading investors, operators, attorneys, professors, and industry leaders from across the VC ecosystem.

Learn from the people making investment decisions every day and hear the different perspectives that shape venture today.

Registration is now open: https://t.co/id3Go8RlQQ

Venture is a field with many barriers to entry: location, socioeconomic status, and access to viable networks are all limiting factors. This means that most people interested in venture aren’t starting from the same place.

But most are trying to solve the same problem: how to navigate the industry and where they fit.

VC University is built to help give you that clear answer.

General registration is open. 22 cohorts have sold out.

There’s no single path into venture. Most people piece it together over time through conversations with peers, research, or word of mouth.

That lack of structure creates unnecessary barriers.

VC University brings clarity, context, and access all in one place.

General registration is open.

[Venture Forward @VCForward]

Everyone has a part to play in the VC ecosystem.

Whether you are an aspiring investor, operator, platform professional, or advisor, you play a crucial role in helping VC drive innovation.

Yet, most people navigate venture without clear structure or access.

VC University was designed to help address that gap.

Wherever you’re starting from, this is a place to build clarity and momentum.

Venture has historically been hard to break into because there’s no clear path - just signals, networks, and guesswork.

Access to venture is still uneven. Geography, network, and timing all play a role.

#VCUniversity was designed to make that access more practical.

Deadline for early-bird registration is TONIGHT at 11:59 PM PT. After tonight, $1500 tuition will rise to the general rate of $1850.

Most people don’t struggle with interest in VC; they struggle with direction.

That’s what VC University is designed to solve.

If this has been on your list for development, now is the time to decide. Early-bird pricing ends THIS Friday, July 31.

Venture capital is difficult to learn without a clear, structured approach.

VC University provides that structured approach. The comprehensive modules focus on the mechanics of venture: how funds work, how decisions are made, and how to better navigate the ecosystem.

VC University is an approachable way to learn the fundamentals of venture capital.

Early-bird pricing is offered through July 31: https://t.co/id3Go8RTGo

Breaking into VC can feel like guessing your way through it. There’s a lot of content, but very few places where it’s actually taught in a practical way.

VC University was built to change that.

Early registration is now open. 22 cohorts have sold out.
