About Event

Curious about what it takes to land a platform role in venture capital?

You're not alone! I get a ton of messages from folks, especially marketers, operators, and community builders, who want to make the leap into VC but don’t know where to start.

In this live session, I’ll break down:

  • What “platform” really means in venture today (and how it's evolving)

  • The types of skills that are most transferable

  • Tactical advice for getting on the radar of funds hiring for platform roles

  • Questions from the audience

Whether you're actively applying or just curious about where your skills could fit, this session is designed to give you a clearer picture of what’s out there and how to stand out!

Bonus: I’ll also share a few of the best resources, job boards, and newsletters I’ve come across.
