Over the last three years, our members have gone on to work with leading venture and private equity firms globally, while investors and founders within the network continue to back and build category-defining companies.

Thank you so much, I couldn't be more grateful for you and breakintovc. You have really been approachable and helped me through every step no matter what time of the day . I resigned, and I was scared, but before I even completed my notice period I had a VC offer.
