About Us

Venture Capital Association is a student-run RSO with the mission of educating students on the highly competitive Venture Capital space. Our curriculum consists of an 8-week boot camp on VC basics followed by a chance to work on live projects with real VC firms.

We aim to provide University of Illinois students interested in venture capital with exposure to the industry through real-world experience. VCA analysts are trained to think like an investor, perform analysis, and produce high-quality deliverables through weekly meetings, events with other organizations in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, guest speakers, shark tank competitions, and more.
