How to Build a Career in VC: a Conversation with Jun Qu

​What is it actually like to work in venture capital — not the LinkedIn version, but the real one?

​In this session, Jun Qu of Main Sequence Ventures joins us for an open, unscripted conversation about the day-to-day reality of life as a VC: where the time actually goes, how the job changes as you move from analyst to partner, and the parts of the work that are genuinely great — alongside the parts no one puts in the job description.

​We'll also get practical about the question on a lot of minds: what does it take to break in to careers in VC?

​Expect honest reflections, possible myths busted, and plenty of room for your questions.

​If you're curious whether a career in venture is for you, or just want a clear-eyed look behind the curtain, this talk is for you.
