Meet your instructor

You don't need a big network to start sourcing... you just have to be creative in how you find companies and put yourself out in the world. Whether you're in college or out in the workforce, you'll learn how to think outside the box, talk to founders, and add value.

How to source deals (the Gen Z way with no network)

Being a great investor goes waaaaaayyy beyond sourcing. You need to help your firm win deals, dig deep on diligence, and then be a thought partner to founders. Finding your edge &amp; wedge into "value-add" will be important at each step.

How to build a great memo, win deals, and support your portfolio companies like a baddie

As a young investor, content can be one of your greatest assets. This course will help you find your niche, and start actually creating content / building your brand vs. just thinking about it. We're do-ers :)

How to build your brand from scratch & START WRITING

We're going to cover some details and provide resources on venture math, financial modeling, and even deal terms so you'll know where to start.
