How did VC Lab help you launch your fund?

From creating a solid thesis to guiding me with strategy and helping me with where to focus. Without the program, there would be no Impacta VC.

What did you enjoy most about the VC Lab program?

Hearing the mentors’ stories and the intensity of the program (and Epic Sprints!) helped me reach my highest levels of productivity.

VC Lab was instrumental for me. I had extensive experience in angel investing, but no knowledge of building a venture firm. VC Lab helped me to avoid any pitfalls and steered me to best practices, which allowed me to save significant time and launch my firm in just a few months.

I really enjoyed the high intensity, detailed curriculum, and high bar.

VC Lab reminds me of the TV show called “Forged In Fire” where bladesmiths recreate historical edged weapons in a cutthroat competition. The show gives aspiring bladesmiths a chance to be the best they can be, a conducive environment to learn and practice in, all the necessary tools and equipment to forge a masterpiece, caring world class experts to guide, mentor, and give brutally honest and constructive feedback, a testing arena to validate their creation, and a competitive atmosphere to push everyone to attain their best. This is what VC Lab is all about but even better. I also get to collaborate, share, and learn with my workgroup and entire cohort of a new breed of future fund managers and ethical change makers. Thank you VC Lab!

The curriculum, fellow cohort participants, and Adeo Ressi and Mike Suprovici’s coaching and leadership (including the high quality and direct feedback) have increased my confidence and competence by at least 10x.

The VC Lab program is a transformative experience if you are truly interested in starting a venture capital fund that is focused on the ideals you cherish, and for which you believe the time has arrived. It is a tight 16-week program that is focused on getting to the first-close – full of vignettes, best practices, and lessons in fund formation and outreach techniques. It is transparent, ethical, and aspires to the highest standards in governance. I would like to thank the VC Lab leadership – Adeo Ressi, Mike Suprovici, Sonia Piórek, and Christina Vernali – for their deep commitment to the program and for democratizing the principles and practices in venture fund formation. Their work is making an impact on a truly global scale.
