Room for reflection with a trusted confidant
As a VC, you have limited time to make high-impact decisions. A VC coach provides space and structure for the reflection that is necessary for efficient learning and growth

Hey there VC, recognize any of these problems?
Are you a Venture Capital Partner who:
-
is having a conflict with the founders in your portfolio or even worse: with your partner(s)?
-
worries about how to manage your LPs and stakeholders?
-
wants to be an inspiration to your team?
-
feels overworked or stuck?
Examples of typical issues I have helped VC's with:​
or: Are you a Principal or Associate who:
-
is not sure if you want to commit long term to becoming a partner (given the investment needed)?
-
is looking for the right leadership style?
-
is sometimes feeling like you have to compete with other peers in your fund?
-
struggling to balance work & life?
or: Are you a Junior or aspiring VC who:
-
is ambitious and wants to find an edge and leave a mark but not sure how to?
-
is navigating the processes and culture of a VC
-
is sometimes having difficulties with the hierarchy and wants to be valued for your work?
-
wants to know how to get into the VC scene or switch to another fund?

About The VC Coach
I am Anieke, a former VC who has seen a broad range of the VC spectrum from the inside: from Private Equity and Corporate VC to an independent Impact VC fund, and from being an informal investors, VC Scouts to being an operator in a startup.
Having worked for VC for over a decade, I know the pain of not having a clear Learning & Development program and support in place. From my own experience, I know the value a confidential outside coach can bring to the quality of the decisions made in a fund. This is why I founded The VC Coach. So that VCs can be coached in being better versions of themselves and to make more positive impact.
I also believe in the importance of making VCs:
-
Less biased, more diverse, and inclusive
-
More impact and purpose-driven: return and impact can go hand in hand!
-
Less hierarchical and political, more collaborative and entrepreneurial
I believe that indirectly a VC coach can help the sector to become more empowering, impactful, and inclusive.
Thank you for being a part of that journey!
