NVP Academy

'My colleagues have often told me that I should follow the NVP Venture Capital Essentials. I'm glad I finally did. It was very nice to meet so many new people. You can share experiences with each other and collaborate. In addition, it was also very pleasant.'' 

Contents
During the Venture Capital Essentials training you will go through the entire VC investment process. The training consists of twelve modules. In these modules, together with experts from national and international VC funds, you will delve deeper into the topics that are discussed during the investment process. The training offers room for interaction and, if possible, we focus on practical examples as much as possible. The training also offers sufficient opportunities to meet colleagues in an informal manner who, just like you, work within the Venture Capital sector.

During the training you will work step by step on an investment together with other participants. After this, you work out an investment proposal based on all elements that were discussed during the training. Part of the training is a half day to engage in intervision. On the basis of practical situations, you evaluate how you acted and what the effect was. In the Essentials training you not only increase your substantive knowledge, but you can also reflect on the influence of behaviour.
