AdvertisementKatie Vasquez landed her first venture capital job at 23 years old.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Katie Vasquez, a 26-year-old investor at Calibrate Ventures based in Santa Monica, California, on her experience working in venture capital.
I'm an investor at Calibrate Ventures, an early-stage deep-tech venture capital firm.
My advice for other people hoping to get into VC is to leverage your network and stay up to date on the industry.
This experience provided a great foundation for thinking more about technical due diligence, tech architecture, and strategy, but moving into investing and venture capital felt like the most exciting path.
