In their own words
What participants say
“My best moment was our first investment. That was the moment when it started to feel real. There's not a lot of chances to have a simulation of a real-life VC fund in the making, and to have the opportunity to gain great insights with incredibly talented people from different places in Europe and the world, all condensed in just three days. I haven't seen any program like this online or offline. It's really, really, really recommended.”

Alejo Lauria
CVC Associate at Brisa Head Ventures
“It really focused on applied knowledge. There are a bunch of excellent courses and trainings out there that give you strong fundamentals and theoretical background. What's missing is exactly those situations where you figure out your investment thesis, you pitch on the spot, and you put yourself in the shoes of the founder. This academy gave me exactly that. You're in a high stakes environment where you have to make decisions on the go. From that perspective, it was absolutely invaluable. It gave me a lot of practical skills that I can actually take and apply in my venture capital career.”

Investment Manager at Trin Ventures
“The emotions are real. It's a simulation, but you still feel the importance of delivering for yourself and your team. It was intense, but the learnings stay with you. It affects the way I think now as a venture analyst. I feel motivated after going through the deep valley of the challenges. That's why I would recommend it.”
