I was a member of the inaugural Sutton Capital VC program in April of 2020. Joel
did a fantastic job creating and implementing this curriculum. The program
offers something for both the VC novice and those that are more experienced.
Joel booked great speakers for the second half of the program that shared their
insights from their careers. The cohort is really what stands out, you will meet
a diverse group of talented individuals that want to do good things. Joel did a
great job of making us feel like a family. I highly recommend this program!

Sutton Capital hosts an 8-week educational program that is very comprehensive
and provides a great introduction into the VC world. Some of the topics
discussed include VC v. PE, deal flow management, startup outreach techniques
and financial models and KPIs etc.

Even though I was well acquainted with VC when I joined the Sutton Capital
program, I still learned a lot from it. I was able to get first-hand experience

I helped Joel mentor his initial analyst cohort at Sutton Capital, where he
trains working professionals and college students for a career in VC. The
curriculum is comprehensive, and our accomplished cohort of analysts (with
backgrounds at firms such as Blackstone, Morgan Stanley, EY etc…) were
successfully positioned for a pivot to a career in venture.

The Sutton Capital Investor Program was an incredible experience both personally
and professionally. The program covered every part of VC from the history, to
term sheets, to waterfall analysis, and even sourcing your own deals on behalf
of the Sutton Capital firm. On top of that, you get to join an ecclectic cohort
of intelligent people from all of the world. The instructor, Joel, is very hands

which ultimately helped me pivot my career into venture capital full time. For
those that are interested in gaining exposure to venture capital, I would highly
consider this program. Feel free to reach out to me via LinkedIn and I can
answer any questions you may have!

Sutton Capital was a great experience. With experience in technology strategy
from a big bank, the experience at Sutton Capital really taught me the private
side of the markets. Understanding VC culture and how to communicate with
founders to make deals competitive in market was fun and interesting to learn.
The best part was the community that you gain from the program. A group of

apprenticeship. I applied online and had an interview with Joel as he explained
the valuable experience we would get as analysts in the program. The first few
weeks, he taught us the quantitative and qualitative skillsets needed to
properly invest early stage startups. Through his lectures and collaborations
with other managing partners, we were able to grasp the space and hit the ground
running. It was inspiring to hear how Joel was able to make investments into
notable startups that were carving out a niche within its own space. Finding
innovative companies that were becoming market leaders or trend setters was
exciting to say the least. The best part of the program was the fact that we
were able to work with other students from a diverse set of backgrounds. They
were from universities all across the U.S. and even overseas studying different
majors with a unique lens on valuing startups. We were broken up into teams with
different sector specializations and had team exercises that helped us grow as
professionals. We were expected in the latter half of the program to pitch
companies to an investment committee that consisted of different venture capital
funds. Having this exposure was great to get critical feedback in improving for
the next time around. Lastly, having a group of like-minded individuals really
made this experience memorable and long-lasting for me. I would encourage anyone
that has doubts about their current career path to open your mind to venture
capital as well as this program.

Joel Palathinkal runs an amazing fund at Sutton Capital. The work is thorough
and intense, but in a rewarding and enjoyable way. Prior professional
experience/expertise and current professional networks at Sutton really help the
firm stand out, stay ahead of the curve, and really look to have it set up for
long term success. Additionally, Joel runs a fellowship program helping others

something that I think really shows what Sutton and Joel is truly about. This is
how I was introduced to VC and the fund and would recommend the program to
anyone looking to learn and be challenged in the VC space.

There is a class focused on fund creation and management as well. This
experience is the preparation for the next stage of the program.

The last 5 weeks of the program is the apprenticeship where one would reach out
to real startups for deals and go through the process of evaluating them using
different metrics and then presenting them to partners every Monday. Selected
startups can goto the next step of due diligence and investment committee. Apart
from startups , one also has the opportunity to network and learn from guest VCs
every week.

The program is great for gaining exposure into the VC ecosystem and building
knowledge at first. However it truly stands out because of the real life
experience from its apprenticeship program. The ability to network and learn by
doing is something which can't be achieved from any other VC course. This is why
I would definitely recommend the program to anyone who wants to be in VC.

committee presentations…. the learnings are priceless! Plus ofcourse the Uber
Eats rewards are well appreciated by those who work hard to earn ‘em :)

Over and above there are 1–1 office hours for the cohort covering course
material, as well as mentoring on VC fundamentals and deal sourcing and any and
everything that one needs to learn to be a productive and efficient VC.

I’ve said all this when all I wanted to say is that I thoroughly enjoyed this
experience and would recommend hands down to those who are seeking such an
awesome opportunity to learn how to mold their career paths towards the Venture
Capital Industry !
