The Venture Capital Executive program is designed to equip leaders with insights, tools, and networks that create lasting impact.

This year’s cohort summed it up best:
“As an entrepreneur, I feel much more empowered and confident going into our Series-A round and really appreciate the incredible network this course offers, including members of my cohort.” – Yash Mishra, CEO & Co-Founder, Cellcraft

“The content was highly relevant, combining both theory and practical case studies, and it provided me with a structured understanding of how venture capital works from the perspective of both investors and founders. The faculty and peer discussions also added real value, making the experience very enriching.” – Tomas Rios, Director Ongoing, Eafit University

“The program provides a great overview a good level of depth into the innovation ecosystem, VC mechanics, investment thesis, valuations, term sheets and also brings real-life perspectives from all the ecosystem participants (VCs of different focus and stages, LPs, entrepreneurs, lawyers and IBs). Jerry and Sean are just amazing as faculty, plus real VC practitioners. Cherry on the cake we covered well the hot topics such as AI and its impact on the ecosystem. Couldn’t have been better!” – Fateh Madani, CitiGroup

Thank you to faculty Jerome Engel and Sean Foote for guiding another successful program.

Another unforgettable Women’s Executive Leadership program comes to a close. Congratulations to this exceptional group of leaders!

Thank you to faculty members Laura Kray, Juliana Schroeder, Penny Kreitzer and Mathijs de Vaan for creating a powerful and engaging experience for this cohort of leaders.

Reflections from participants:

“This program was pivotal for me. I was at a point in my career where I wanted to lead not just with expertise but with intention. A mentor once told me ‘You’re ready to lead at the next level, go sharpen your edge.’ WEXL felt like the right program to do that surrounded by women leaders, also intentionally looking to improve their leadership skills.” - Moria Trautman, MBA

“The program topics were perfectly covered to be able to relate to our personal and professional life experiences! A lot of skills and storytelling with growth mindset and how to develop your leadership skills! The engagement from all the class fellows and hearing their perspectives was very insightful and helpful.” - Neetu Gogia

“This program was transformative. It’s full of much-needed leadership and life hacks that I can apply immediately.” - Kirsten Andrews-Schwind
