Be a part of USC Venture Capital Academy.
VCA gives members a semester long education in VC fundamentals, then puts that knowledge into practice through real reps sourcing deals and running market diligence for the 3 to 4 VC firms and startups we partner with each semester.
Members also get direct access to the firms themselves, through speaker events, on campus firm visits, and a Bay Area trek visiting firms like Lightspeed, NEA, and a16z. It's a chance to build real relationships with investors and come away with direct exposure to how venture actually works.
