In collaboration with the Harvard Business School, our goal is to demystify and humanize the world of venture capital. Michael Skok, serial entrepreneur turned venture capitalist, will explore the truths, myths and legends of the industry. Would you like to blow up the black box of venture capital, and understand what it really takes to be a great VC? How valuable would it be for you to get inside the heads of legendary VCs, to learn about how they build their teams and who they choose to fund? During each episode, guests will share their experiences, the varied pathways they took into VC, and the triumphs and learnings along the way. Whether you are a founder, funder, or anyone interested in the world of venture capital, vc_pathways is the podcast for you! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This podcast is for general information purposes only and does not constitute accounting, legal, tax, or other professional advice, and any reliance on the information provided in this podcast is done at your own risk.
