A lot of the same points seem to come up over and over again in articles, such as the ones above including:

-          Build a strong network early on in order to potentially introduce VCs to new entrepreneurs and generate deal flow

-          Work for a startup – the learning experience can be extremely helpful to understand the challenges that entrepreneurs face and learn more about the fundraising options available to them

-          Really focus on a specific area that you can learn to become an expert on and develop an opinion on it that you can share during interviews
