“It is very rare to meet students who want to join the small and weird VC world, so it is nice to be able to give them feedback. It also raises us questions what we do or we should do better. It is a super good event and I hope there will be many editions.”
“The ecosystem needs to understand how to introduce things to VCs, and why we take this or this decision. It is a good opportunity for us to explain to everyone what our methods are, what we expect as information.”
Transmit & teach the Ecosystem your methods. Meet entrepreneurs & add to your dealflow. Identify skilled, aspiring VCs for your team (interns, analysts, associates).
Test your investment & due diligence skills in a life-size test with genuine startups & world-class VCs. Get hired as a potential intern, analyst or associate.
“I always try to develop some startups but I join to learn how it is from the other side. I want to feel what it is to be a VC. That’s what I’m doing at UPComingVC, quite intensively.”
“You learn a lot, it's a real experience. You understand what exactly you need to focus on when you meet a startup, it is extremely useful for your career.”
“A great event to train and to learn how to talk with a Venture Capitalist and understand what type of questions they are asking, to understand exactly what they want to understand about my company. I am here mostly to train to become a better candidate for VCs.”
“One of the best events I've done so far [..] It's helping me get to know, have like a personal contact with all the amazing VCs, [..] and have a precise feedback on what we should do in order to grow, recruit and make sure that our company becomes viable fast.”
“It’s demanding team working and time management exercise. It’s an intense day full of emotions, new people, networking opportunities and deep learning sessions.”
“It's a very innovative format [..] extremely helpful for us as investors [..] because seeing all these new brilliant people wanting to work as a VC kind of asks us to be more demanding with ourselves to be better VCs. [..] It is a great crowd and it's very refreshing.”
“I was interested because the format is different [..] It is a good opportunity to connect with good entrepreneurs and good people willing to become VC at some point [..] I'll be happy to come back.”
Camille Kriebitzsch, Principal & Co-Founder @ Eutopia
“It's a perfect occasion to meet startups, wannabe VCs, VCs, it's quick and interactive. It's a really good exercise we cannot really do when you are at school or later on. It is a good experience for everyone.”
