Venture University is an investor accelerator (vs. a startup accelerator), so rather than having startups pitch at DEMO DAY, we have the investors within the cohort pitch at a REVERSE DEMO DAY, where they present the companies they selected to invest in and explain why they chose to invest.
Cohort 12 investors are part of five deal sourcing teams: Consumer, Enterprise, Fintech, Frontier, Healthcare, and PropTech. Over 11 weeks they will source investment opportunities, meet with investors and startups, conduct due diligence, and invest in ~3-5 companies. Meet Cohort 12.
At REVERSE DEMO DAY each investment team will share their key findings and insights from their due diligence for why they got excited about the market, the team, the solution and strategy, and some of the key traction metrics that made them say "yes" to invest.

If you're an investment group that is hiring signup to participate in VU's quarterly VC/PE Recruiting Day and VU will curate 3-6 top candidates from Cohort 12 and VU alumni to interview for your job positions.
The cohort includes three types of investors:
- Individuals looking to break into VC / PE as Analysts, Associates, Principals, and Partners
- Emerging fund managers, angel investors, and family offices looking to improve their VC/PE investment skills
- Entrepreneurs looking to join high growth businesses or start their next company
