Google top venture capital firms and look at their portfolio companies. Find a few that are early (series a-c) to target. Pick ones that resonate with you.

Venture capital firms do tons of due diligence, and if you join early enough, when an exit happens it could be a big payday.

Write to them about why they resonate with you. Use LinkedIn to find out the right person to message. Your goal is to get into the interview pipeline.

Be eager. Enthusiasm counts for a lot. If you’re thoughtful and personable, foot in the door is all you need.

Because they don't want to get worked to death.
