“My experience with LEL absolutely opened my eyes, and I was able to get a comprehensive view of the sector. I now know the different stages that a startup goes through, how various agencies play a part in the process, and how portfolios and investments are being managed. Deal sourcing was arguably the most essential skill that a VCer should develop, and I had equipped myself with stronger acumen for deep tech and CPG startups from the weekly pitching process. My mentor, manager, and peers were all very supportive in guiding me throughout the 3-month fellowship.”
