Recruiting into Venture? 🤝

Click the link below to learn about Alex's path to becoming a partner in VC... From his first role in Morgan Stanley's investment banking division in the technology group, to growth equity at ICONIQ Capital, to working his way to Partner at AVP, where the team deploys ~$100 Million per year into late stage venture and growth stage companies like Headspace — Alex discussed breaking into VC, how to recruit from a non-traditional background, and why he chose to pursue VC over other investing roles like PE.

AVP is also recruiting a VC Associate! Apply to this role if you have top investment banking / consulting / investing experience and are looking to make a move!

Prior to joining AVP in July 2015, Alex was an early member of the growth equity investing team at ICONIQ Capital, where he focused on investments in enterprise software, financial technology, and consumer e‑commerce verticals.

Alex began his career at Morgan Stanley in the firm’s Global Technology Group in Menlo Park, where he executed mergers and acquisitions, equity and debt offerings, and private placements. Alex received his BBA with a double major in Accounting and Finance from the University of Iowa. The moderator was our very own Asif Rahman, Co-Founder of OfficeHours and former PE/VC and IB.
