Venture Capital Executive Program
Program Experience
The Venture Capital program provides an opportunity to learn from renowned Berkeley Haas faculty member, former entrepreneur, and venture capitalist Jerry Engel while networking with fellow Berkeley Executive Education professionals.
As a program participant, you’ll get a comprehensive overview of the venture capital investing cycle and interact with Capital investors from the world’s premier innovation cluster: Silicon Valley.
Upon completion of the venture capital program, you’ll have a foundation of the investing principles, what investors look for, access to professionals within the venture capital and private equity community, and a plan to apply your knowledge. Professor Jerry Engel will also be discussing the impact of the pandemic on the venture capital world relating to resilience of the venture capital industry, breaking into venture capital in a post-pandemic world, and what venture capital opportunities are hot in the post-pandemic world.
