Wharton Client Experiences
I took the Venture Capital program to see if there were any gaps in my knowledge, identify them, and learn how to fill them. There were a lot of things that I knew and was very familiar with, but it was great to have multiple professors looking at venture capital from various perspectives. They are not only finance academics but also have a tremendous amount of hands-on experience, and helped me gain real-world skills. The program was truly a master class in the field, fantastic for anyone who is serious about venture capital at any stage of their career.”
