valuable to a VC than a degree from a mediocre (or even top) MBA program.VC
其实很喜欢有operational background的人，PE 你应该没什么戏。 |

发帖数: 440 | 8 there're all sorts of paths leading to VC jobs.
this guy at sequoia gives an example. he's a ph.d.-turned mba.
http://www.linkedin.com/in/hogarth
nothing is impossible, but it's guaranteed to be a tough path.
you got to do your homework more broadly.
one of the qualities for VC job candidate is resourcefulness. if you only
count on a bbs to find the answer to "how to get into VC", then your success
rate becomes questionable.... ^_^
good luck! |

发帖数: 6465 | 10 How to become a VC
I think Fred Wilson, summarizes it well:
“If you want to make top tier returns in the venture capital business….The
way you do that is you work for at least 10 years in the industry, getting
operating experience, building a killer rolodex, and learning how the
business works from the inside. Then in your mid-to-late 30s, you can make
the move to the venture capital business, as a partner, not as a wet behind
the ears associate who doesn’t know anything other than how to push numbers
around a spreadsheet.” -Fred Wilson, a partner at venture capital firm
Union Square Ventures

发帖数: 1613 | 15 Financial Engineering/quant is only a very small subset of finance. I dont
know why many people here consider it as equivalent to "finance", or the
most important part of it. What you learn in MBA programs has little to do
with quant. MBA is about, as its name implies, management, whether to manage
a company, a project or people. Quant analysts/traders don't really manage
anything, maybe except numbers/programming languages. I don't even know what
it is within the business school as it has the least to do with "business".
ＭＦＥ对金融更加深入学习 is nonsense. What is 金融? It is not about sitting
in front of a computer crunching numbers or writing codes, it is about
selling products. In this sense, MFE can't be farther away from 金融.
You need to be better informed about what Venture Capital/Private Equity
means. It is wrong, as many seem to believe, to assume that VC/PE is simply
"better" than traditional finance. It is just a different way of investment,
with high risks and possibly returns. It is like whether you want to buy
treasury bond or Apple stock, there is no better or worse, just different
investment vehicles for people of different demand.
Did you ask yourself, why do you want to enter VC? Are you interested in
the excitement of high risk deals, or just assuming it automatically brings
fat cash bonuses? The latter is not by default true.

，懂finance就都能看懂。 生物医疗这个东西，没点儿专业知识还真不行。最近做了个
生物科技的项目，跟两家大VC一块儿投的。除了我跟我同事，其他两家一个是PhD, 一
个是医科大的医生。 |

发帖数: 98 | 23 it's not an accurate explanation for the VC industry's downsizing.
top-tier VCs still make big bucks.
as an asset class, vc got too much $$ from LPs during the tech bubble.
so the market has been trimming down the investment in VCs, which certainly
impacted the recruiting.
back in 2007/2008, many VCs launched funds that focus on the cleantech space
when it became hot. so a ton of mba graduates got into cleantech vc's. that
period was the best time ever in the past 5 years for VC recruiting.

The problem right now is that too much money chasing too
few good ideas, which will inevitably lead to downturn
for VC.
