Wondering how can I navigate my career to a VC firm focused on Tech. I have a few years of experience working with Microsoft and Amazon in ML and Cloud computing. Is MBA a viable option? Any other suggestion?
HBS or GSB only. If you don't get admits, then top5 schools + few years of PM/MBB/top few banks. Don't try to join 'a tech focussed VC'. If you don't get into a top10 silicon valley VC, please continue your life. You can become GP directly after you sell your startup.
So you are suggesting focus on a startup idea instead of B school? Do you mean I have more chances of success with a startup then taking B school route and trying to get into a VC firm?
Silicon Valley VC would be a 'tech focused' VC. Is my assertion wrong?
Network, be successful entrepreneur or intrepreneur , create a brand for yourself and you don't need MBA in that case.
May be I need to relocate to Bay Area. I don't see a lot happening in Seattle or may be I'm completely missing the scene in Seattle?
There’s a couple of meetups in Seattle, but that’s basically it! We should create a Softdev to VC meetup group haha
Created a slack group called leveraged-buyout
MBA will help for sure (only Top 10)
What does "only < top 10" mean?
Top 9 or top 8 or top 7 etc
