Chicago Booth EVC

last thursday and friday, 15 of our members traveled to nyc on zoom (🙃) to meet with some fantastic investors from nyc-based vc firms for our 2022 career trek (led by @alexchungtweets and @amirakkhatib). 🧵 we wanted to share our key learnings in this thread…

Join us Wednesday for a Startup Panel with Elizabeth Wong (@theskimm), Kate Cenko (@DUDEproducts), McKenzie Elliott (@RockstarGames), Dan Menza (@aeropay_ ), & Shravni Ramkumar (@DriveWealth) who will be sharing wisdom on adding value at a startup.

Overnight success is very rarely ever that, overnight. It’s years of working hard that’s finally been met with luck.

some overall themes we identified: 🤑 as money (capital) gets increasingly commoditized, what are YOU (as a vc) doing to “sell” your money? 🛣 there is no ONE path into vc – take advantage of the creativity you can have when breaking into vc ❤️ do what you WANT to do
