Most people never break into VC. Let’s change that. 🚀

👋 Hey, It’s been a while.

Almost a year and a half since we last wrote something here at Break Into VC by VC Crafters.

And honestly… some of you probably forgot you even subscribed 😅

But over the last few months, I kept getting messages from students, founders, operators, and aspiring investors asking the same thing:

“How do I actually break into venture capital?”

That reminded me why we started this newsletter in the first place.

So… we’re finally back.

For those who are new here - quick intro:

I’m Sahil, founder of Minimal Ventures, a venture studio. Over the years, I’ve worked across different roles in venture capital, from associate to partner, while also building communities and startup media platforms.

One thing I consistently noticed: A lot of smart people want to enter VC, but most struggle because they lack the right guidance, network, roadmap, or insider understanding of how the industry actually works.

That’s exactly why we started Break Into VC newsletter.

And now we’re restarting it with a much clearer vision. Going forward, you’ll see:

• VC interview preparation guides

• Venture capital frameworks & lessons

• VC job/internship opportunities

• Investor breakdowns

• Startup analysis

• Fund modeling concepts

• Advice from real investors/operators

• Practical insights to become a better investor

Even if you’re already angel investing, I think this content will still help you think more like an investor.

Some exciting news as well: We’re also working on a premium VC Crafters platform that will include:

• structured guides,

• templates,

• VC learning resources,

• previous content,

• and much deeper educational material from scratch.

More on that very soon 👀
