Business
MissionVenture Capital Association’s purpose is to provide students interested in venture capital with exposure to the industry through education as well as real-world experience. VC funds leverage the organization’s resources for consultancy on both potential and existing investments. In order to provide value to our partners, VCA analysts must be trained on how to think like an investor, perform analysis, and produce high-quality deliverables. Analysts are formally trained in their first-semester through a bootcamp phase by the Membership Director on a curriculum specifically designed for VCA which includes weekly meetings, events with other organizations in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, guest speakers, and more. Analysts that are interested in moving to the “Associate Program” are staffed on projects in which they gain real-world experience working for a VC to either perform industry research, source investment opportunities, conduct due diligence, or consult on a portfolio company. These types of projects are outlined in the “Project Management Outline” section. Associates work hand-in-hand under a project manager. Every partner is assigned at least one project manager to serve as the point-of-contact and to oversee project completion. Through the efforts outlined above, VCA strives to create a unique pipeline into the venture capital industry for the brightest students at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
