adVENTURE with CVCA on the East Coast
The Canadian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (CVCA) is welcoming you, the next generation of innovators, by meeting you where they are today and inviting you to explore a career path that places you on the frontline of innovation.
On October 23rd from 5-8PM, the CVCA team, in partnership with Saint Mary's University, Dalhousie University, NSCAD University, Mount Saint Vincent University, and Nova Scotia Community College, will be on campus to share insights about what it looks like to pursue a career in private capital. Through an 'Ask Me Anything' session with industry leaders, networking + pizza, and a Fund Manager Simulation, students will walk away with a clearer picture of the private capital industry.
A career in private capital offers a dynamic opportunity to be at the forefront of innovation and purpose-driven change. Private capital professionals actively shape the future by supporting startups with groundbreaking ideas, fostering entrepreneurship, and contributing to job creation both locally and globally. Private capital professionals champion social and environmental causes while achieving financial growth. Through mentorship, they empower emerging businesses to thrive, strengthening the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
A career in private capital offers a unique blend of purpose, influence, and financial reward, making it an inspiring and fulfilling career path for those eager to make a meaningful impact on the world. There’s no single path to a career in private capital, and no path that excludes you from one. At CVCA, we believe in the limitless possibilities of breaking into the private capital industry, especially for young women nationwide.
