The Venture Capital Executive program is highly relevant to anyone working in venture capital. A standout aspect of the program—and highly differentiated from other executive programs—is Berkeley’s network of VC investors, entrepreneurs, and ecosystem partners.
The Venture Capital Executive program provides a great overview and a good level of depth into the innovation ecosystem, VC mechanics, investment thesis, valuations, term sheets and real life perspectives from all the ecosystem participants: VCs of different focus and stages, LPs, entrepreneurs, lawyers and IBs. Jerry and Sean are just amazing as faculty and real VC practitioners. Cherry on top, we covered hot topics such as AI and its impact on the ecosystem. Couldn't have been better.
The faculty were exceptional, offering a 360-degree view of the product lifecycle. From the rigorous frameworks of David Mok and Peter Wilton on value capture to the leadership insights of Todd Yellin and Holly Schroth, the caliber of instruction was world-class. The cohort was world-class and incredibly diverse. Debating business models with leaders in AgTech, Biotech, Cybersecurity, and Global Finance challenged my assumptions and provided a wealth of cross-industry perspectives that you simply can't get in a tech-only environment.
The content was exceptionally strong and highly engaging throughout. I would confidently recommend Berkeley's Product Management program to any product manager looking to level up their skills and operate with greater clarity and impact.
Very inspiring, dynamic, hands-on experience on the topic. Big thanks to Homa for all her amazing sessions, her genuine interest in people, and her clear, understandable thoughts and examples. Totally enjoyed it.

The Negotiation and Influence program completely changed the way I approach difficult conversations. The combination of solid theory, hands-on simulations, and thoughtful feedback gave me a toolkit to use in my professional and personal life. I feel more confident, prepared, and effective in every negotiation.
Loved the practical workshops and in the moment feedback from coaches. After more than 20 years in leadership, I managed to rethink what extraordinary, human-centered leadership really means. The faculty brought an exceptional balance of warmth, energy, and expertise, and the practical workshops with real-time coaching pushed me to grow in ways I didn't expect. The globally and industry diverse cohort enriched every conversation, offering perspectives far beyond the tech focused group I anticipated. It was one of the most impactful leadership experiences of my career, and one that will shape how I lead moving forward.
