During the winter and spring quarters, students interested in pursuing venture capital as a career will have the opportunity to convene monthly as a group with investor-in-residence, Dipa Mehta, MBA ’12. Dipa is a cofounder and managing partner at Valeo Ventures. Valeo is the exclusive investment manager for Cobalt Ventures, the strategic venture capital arm of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City. She sits on the boards of Bicycle Health, Handspring Health, MedArrive, OncoHealth, and Spectrum.AI. Valeo is building a new venture capital fund partnering with hospital systems and health plans to create bespoke corporate venturing vehicles.
These monthly meetups will help venture capital (VC) students think about their career goals, learn about VC, be inspired, and connect with their peers as well as industry professionals. In each of these 1-hour long sessions, the group will meet with a different venture capitalist each month in a guided conversation led by Dipa, where students can ask pointed questions and foster relationships.
By signing up for these monthly meetups, you are committing to actively participating in ALL of the monthly meetings which are on January 22, February 19, March 5, April 16, and May 14 from 5pm-6pm CST with three in person at the Gleacher Center and two over Zoom. There is no hybrid option.
