10 Minute Blitz with Turner Novak: How to Break into VC through Personal Branding
What do you do when you get rejected from every VC job you apply to because you don't have Stanford on your resume?
If you're Turner Novak, you build a 'fantasy VC portfolio' on Twitter, take an 80% pay cut to intern at Afore Capital, and sell your house for runway.
That relentless bet on himself led to founding Banana Capital, raising $10M from institutional investors, and building one of the most influential voices in venture with over 200,000 followers.
Turner didn't have the traditional credentials. So he built something better: a personal brand that made him impossible to ignore.
In this 10 Minute Blitz, Turner will show you the exact playbook he used to turn online visibility into a venture career:
The core strategy: How posting thoughtful content (and yes, memes) creates more opportunities than cold emails ever will
The authenticity factor: How to develop a voice that cuts through the noise without trying to sound like everyone else in VC
The distribution advantage: Why your Twitter/LinkedIn audience becomes your unfair advantage for deal flow, LP relationships, and credibility
No pedigree required. No inside connections necessary. Just a willingness to build in public and let your thinking speak for itself.
