There are so many consulting clubs on campus. What makes Venture unique?

Venture is not just another consulting club. We stand out because of our focus on entrepreneurship and early stage startups. Rather than consult for massive organizations, we advise smaller teams who are tackling the world’s biggest problems. Our consultants work directly with the change makers of our client firms. We present to C-suite executives and founders and work directly with them on how to best support their company’s growth. Our members gain opportunities and connections they would not have had access to otherwise.

What is Venture’s time commitment?

We generally spend about 8-12 hours per week, spread among general meetings, project meetings, and preparing client work. Our new consultants also undergo training sessions every week to help prepare them for client-facing work.

What if I’m not a business major?

No problem! As long as you have an interest in business and the motivation to solve problems, this organization is the right fit for you.

What do you look for in applicants? What business acumen do I need before applying to Venture?

We look for passionate and interesting people who want to make an impact. You don’t need any business experience to apply, because Venture has a robust training program for new consultants. All that you need to thrive in Venture is the desire and ability to learn, as well as a strong work ethic.

What do you look for in the online application?

We look for someone who is passionate and driven in their experiences, and excited to join Venture! For more information, please check out our application guide for Fall 2023

How do I prepare for interviews?

The best way to prepare is to go to one of our info sessions (Info Session #1 is on Aug 29th and Info Session #2 is on Aug 30th), and then attend our Case Workshop on Aug 31st, where we’ll guide you through a sample case to best prepare you for the case interview. Check out our Join Us page for more detailed information on those events.

Aside from those recruiting events, we recommend applicants to look over practice cases to familiarize themselves with the overall interview structure.

How competitive is the Venture application process?

Venture has a competitive application process. However, no one is at a disadvantage! We strongly encourage you to talk to us more at tabling and at our info session events to learn a bit more about the process as well as our own application experiences.
