Webinar: Careers in Venture Capital – What Investors Actually Do and How to Break In
Investment banking and private equity have clear, well-worn career paths. Venture capital doesn’t. The firms are smaller, and the work is more private, which makes it one of finance’s most appealing – and least visible – paths. The headline returns and unicorn valuations get the attention, but far fewer understand what investors actually do, or how someone builds a career getting into that seat. This session focuses on both.
We’ll keep it focused and practical, centering the conversation on what investors actually do, the sectors drawing capital today – with climate technology as the leading example – and one guiding case study: how investors try to find the next billion-dollar company before everyone else.
Moderated by Meeyeon Park, VP of Capital Markets at CFI, this interactive session brings together venture investor and “gigacorn hunter” Nelson Switzer with ESG strategist Noah Miller for a candid conversation on how investors think – and what it takes to build a career in venture capital. Through live polls and guided discussion, you’ll leave with a clearer picture of how venture works and how investors make decisions under uncertainty – thinking that transfers to almost any finance role.
