This course will definitely support and improve my future work."

This journey has given me the maturity and confidence to bring value to the innovation ecosystem as an investor. I'm excited to apply these insights and contribute to the growth of the ventures I invest in."
"I've participated in a number of VC-related training programs over the past decade, but this course was hands down the best program I have ever taken. Frankly, I wish I had taken this course before I formally started working in VC more than a decade ago, because this course would have saved me from having to learn by making mistakes."
