Growth Equity / Late Stage VC Recruiters
伙计们,
快速问题。哪些搜索公司通常代表最高增长权益/后期VCfirms out there? I'm thinking guys like Accel, TCV, JMI, Battery, Bessemer, Highland, Polaris, Bain Capital, etc. I know Glocap typically does a nice job but I don't know many of the others. Would appreciate any insight here, and to the extent you've had successful interactions with a specific recruiter in the past, maybe introductions/recommendations.
谢谢!

可能得到一个VCjobwithout a recruiter?((最初发布:2016年3月9日)
Is it possible to get aVCjob without the use of a recruiter? I am looking for mainly inNY/BOS where the shops seem to be smaller and less institutional. Would cold emailing and contacting these guys work?
If you're trying to get aVCjob through a headhunter, you're doing it wrong.
What doVCs关心?DealFlow。他们希望他们的员工能够采购机器吗?是的。证明您能够采购的绝佳方式是什么?证明您在技术生态系统中的各个社区之间建立了关系。连接每个人的主要平台是什么?LinkedIn。LinkedIn是否向您展示您如何距世界任何地方的任何人一两步?是的。 Should you use LinkedIn to find a warm intro to someone at the fund(s) you're interested in? Absofuckinglutely.
发送陌生邮件是让人皱眉头。是,我的逻辑f you can't find any kind of relationship that would yield an intro with any kind of warmth, you aren't doing your job well. That goes both for entrepreneurs seeking funding and for people who want to break into the industry.
only the huge institutional shops use third-party headhunters, anyway. You probably don't want to be at one of those; they're the only ones in the industry who are bureaucratic and rigidly hierarchical. If that floats your boat, by all means go for it. If you want to see earlier-stage stuff and a place with a flat culture that grants a lot of autonomy, avoid.

谢谢,这是一篇令人难以置信的帖子。一些随访:
VCswho value startup experience typically want to see you at an early-stage startup. Joining Stripe, Square, Zenefits, or any other late-stage behemoth as employee #872 won't wow aVCinto hiring you. Being employee #23 and the 6th non-technical hire would.
Getting that type of role coming out of banking is tough. Early employees have to hit the ground running and add value from the get-go; their impact dramatically affects the trajectory of the company. You aren't likely to have the requisite skills to crush it in sales, BD, or operations as a 25-year-old exiting an analyst stint, so you aren't likely to be hired.
Also, growth-stage venture funds (not增长权益[[PEfunds that writegiant checks but avoid leverage]) will use you for your financial skill-set more and thus respect it more. Sequioa, for instance, usually takes one banking or consulting analyst per year. The last one I know of came fromGSTMTSF. (Side note: they title everyone "partner" there under the logic that it makes founders take young hires more seriously, but theeconomicsaren't really there.)
简而言之,去您的技能设定最受人尊敬,最受使用的地方,您的学习曲线和责任的增长将是最陡峭的。对于从银行业出来的人来说,这可能是在后期基金中。
If you can spew all that on command and speak knowledgeably, you have a shot at getting hired. If you're thinking right now of how daunting that sounds, think about pursuing another job. If you live and breathe tech, this shouldn't be hard; it should be something that comes naturally because you've already been doing it, and it should be something exciting that you'd be doing in your spare time.
No one inVCcares about internal slide decks on potential investments. What matters is off-market information; what do you know about the team, product, or market that helps you make a more informed investment decision than someone else looking at the same deal.

Two others that come to mind are Redstone Partners and Heidrick & Struggles.
