Where: Alumni Ventures, 1600 El Camino Real #250, Menlo Park
Ticket Sales: https://luma.com/7p0irr74

Join our chapter's board member Matt Caspari (MBA '06, Alumni Ventures), and Navya Chitimireddy (EMBA '22, Berkeley Angel Network), for sharing their personal roadmaps for navigating their career shifts.

Are you curious about the career paths that exist beyond traditional corporate or startup roles? BerkeleyHaas Alumni Network, Silicon Valley Chapter and Women in Leadership Alumnae invite you for an evening focused on the practical journey into the investor ecosystem. We’re skipping the "how to invest" basics and diving straight into the career roadmap: how to get your foot in the door, translate your "operator" skills into "investor" language, and what the day-to-day reality of the space actually looks like.

The event provides invaluable opportunities to ask the alum speakers your specific questions about the transition, as well as networking with fellow alumni who are also exploring or working within the Silicon Valley ecosystem.

Light dinner and refreshments will be served. Save your seat now: https://luma.com/7p0irr74
