Join a community of ex-bankers, consultants, MBAs, undergrads, and career-switchers learning how to get a job in Venture Capital.
No single source explains how European VC recruiting works.
Funds don't publish what they're looking for. Everyone evaluates differently.
No on-cycle, no headhunters, no Glassdoor threads. You're navigating blind.
Roles are filled through networks before they're ever posted.
In 2025, we created Buyside School with one simple mission: help the next generation of investors. Having gone through multiple stages of recruiting processes ourselves, we know how stressful the process can be. We're here to share with you everything we learned.
We are a small team of former professionals from the world's top Venture Firms. We've not only went through the recruiting process that you're currently undergoing, but have also sat on the opposite side of the table evaluating candidates.
