It’s both my pleasure and honor to acknowledge Renata for presenting her “After “Me Too” talk to the Women’s Entrepreneurship Day San Francisco | Silicon Valley community as Mayor London Breed’s office officially proclaimed November 19th Women’s Entrepreneurship Day. Renata’s candid style and applicable business cases won over the packed house the moment she began speaking. And to no surprise, before and after the event, she has continued to connect and work with business owners in the WeDO community.

So much so, bringing her back and nominating her as an advisor for next year is a “no-brainer”. So, if you get a chance to bring her into your organization or conference, do it before someone else books her.

Having Renata as a mentor and bringing her on as an advisor has been a change for the better. I am honored to receive her feedback in all types of forms and shapes. She is clear and concise and would bring up thoughts, recommendations and suggestions that we weren't able to think of. Her spirit screams women empowerment and her affirmations mean we can go far. She has a talent of making the right connections and seeing beyond the initial first impressions.

Just wanted to write a brief comment on Renata's latest book. This is certainly a must-read book for both future venture investors and startup founders. Renata George gives you an insider look on the way venture capital functions, supports it with numerous studies, charts and graphs, sums up the best practices, but what is more important she gives you a unique chance to look inside investors’s brains to understand how their venture capital mindset really works. And it is well written too.

Renata has put together an amazing program that I haven't really seen a parallel to - an easy, approachable way to part the veil over what it means to be a VC for someone who had only contemplated this field in a vaguest of terms. Now, armed with what I am learning through the program, I know that this is something I am able to contribute to, and in fact am doing just that as an Entrepreneur in Residence at a venture fund, even as I continue my role as a founder of WishKnish. Thank you for doing this, Renata, and I very much looking forward to continue working with you!

I've just finished the book "Venture Capital Mindset" from Renata George and I celebrate my first 2 months in this industry with Buran Venture Capital. So even if I get hired before reading the book, it is an excellent set of tools to understand better how VC works, and probably to get tricks to get in touch with them whether as an entrepreneur or a candidate. If #VentureDeals is a must read for all VCs and entrepreneurs to understand the terms (and terms) and get the hard skills, Venture Capital Mindset is really about Mindset and is therefore a really good supplement. Thank you Renata.

We regularly hire Renata to mentor the clients of our recruiting company who want to work in the venture capital industry. As a recruiter, I'd like to point out that Renata always tries to learn as much as possible about her mentees' background, motives and drives for a career change before giving any advice. Renata has extensive domain knowledge and expertise in venture capital investing, financial analysis and planning. Not only can she give an overview of a subject, but she also shares some very specific details, which cannot be learned unless one has been deeply immersed in the industry.

She is always very friendly and dedicates 100% of her attention to the sessions. As a recruiter, I'd like to point out that Renata always tries to learn as much as possible about her mentees' background, motives and drives for a career change before giving any advice. Then, she provides as much information as a person can efficiently absorb at once not to overwhelm them. Renata has extensive domain knowledge and expertise in venture capital investing, financial analysis and planning. Not only can she give an overview of a subject, but she also shares some very specific details, which cannot be learned unless one has been deeply immersed in the industry. Finally, she has a global vision and lays out different career scenarios for our clients. Quoting our clients' feedback on their mentoring sessions, Renata inspires them to achieve the most ambitious goals and grow professionally. She breaks down the problem into pieces and shows what specific steps can be taken to get to the desired destination. Personally, I can't wait for her upcoming book "Venture Capital Mindset"!
