When the very first Venture Capital Institute was under development in 1974, the program was expected have a two-year life cycle at most. Thirty-two years later, the Institute has provided the educational foundation that over 4,300 venture capital professionals have used to become successful in their venture investing endeavors.

The Institute’s Faculty
The strength of the Institute’s programming comes from the remarkable dedication of its faculty members. These individuals are distinguished professionals and accomplished venture managers who have invested over several venture cycles. They are all masters of the profession and are committed to sharing their observations and expertise. Each faculty member takes a balanced, interactive approach to teaching using detailed lectures and outlines, question and answer sessions, and illustrative case studies.
The Institute is Fertile Ground for Building a Professional Network
While the Institute’s rigorous schedule and intensive educational content are legendary, all of the social functions and teamwork promote invaluable networking among industry peers and faculty.
