Jacob Claerhout at Partech
This week we're excited to be joined by Jacob Claerhout, Associate at Partech and founder of Merit, the 'Codeacademy for VCs'! Like us, Jacob feels strongly about broadening access to venture capital which is why he started Merit; to give anyone the opportunity to earn their stripes assessing early stage companies. We discuss how building something gives you a renewed respect for all founders, and how it's taking Jacob back to his background in engineering! Finally, as someone who's thought a lot about recruitment in VC, he shares his top tips for interviewing. Jacob's LinkedIn Merit
