Venture Capital Boot Camp

Darden & Batten Institute offer an amazing way to get a crash course into the VC world. It's 3 days in Reston, VA and includes talks from successful entrepreneurs and VCs.  

 I am interested in both worlds and came away with a much better understanding of term sheets, when and how to approach VCs and how to build a successful business. 

 It even included a case competition where a real startup (insider spyder) pitched to us!

About

I was originally born outside London but spent much of my childhood in Seattle. Most recently I was working for News UK (News International) in London in strategy and insight. I now find myself at Darden pursuing my MBA and hope to use the knowledge gained to start my own consumer goods business. In the mean time, you'll find me trying all the restaurants in Charlottesville, running the streets around town or convincing friends to have an early afternoon drink.
