AV Academy Bootcamp: Menlo Park
- WHO IT IS FOR: Alumni Ventures members who are curious about venture capital but haven't yet made their first investment.
- WHAT IT IS ABOUT: A comprehensive investor bootcamp designed to turn theoretical knowledge of venture capital into practical investment confidence.

Stop letting jargon and risk uncertainty hold you back from venture capital. The AV Academy Bootcamp in Menlo Park is a dedicated half-day experience designed to close the gap between understanding the theory of VC and confidently executing your first deal. You will move beyond the textbook to learn exactly how the Alumni Ventures model works, the critical differences between funds and syndicates, and how to manage risk through a diversified portfolio.
This immersive session prioritizes practical application over lecture. You'll participate in a live portfolio walkthrough to decode quarterly reports and apply a professional evaluation framework to real-world opportunities. By the end of the day, you will have the tools to read deal memos with clarity and make informed investment decisions based on understanding rather than anxiety.
The bootcamp concludes with a live deal drop, giving attendees the immediate opportunity to apply their new skills to a real syndication opportunity. Whether you are struggling with the technicals or simply need a push to get started, this bootcamp provides the roadmap to becoming a confident venture investor.
