From FRM to Venture Capital: My Student's Journey into Startup Investing | Aswini Bajaj

In this insightful podcast, we dive into an in-depth conversation with one of my students, Yash Haralalka, who talks about his job profile of sourcing startups and connecting them with investors. Yash explains the key differences between pre-seed/seed company, and Series A/Series B company - highlighting the importance of founders' expertise and unique selling points in seed-stage investments, while DCF valuation becomes crucial in later stages.

Yash also shares how his CFA and FRM qualifications helped him apply concepts like alternative investments, portfolio management, and financial due diligence in his work.

He emphasizes the critical role of continuous reading to stay updated in your industry and mastering the art of ethical networking. According to Yash, networking is not about just taking in from others - it's about building deep, meaningful connections, having follow-up conversations, and understanding the psychology of the people you interact with.

If you want to learn about startup investing, career growth, and professional ethics, this conversation is a must-watch!
