There is no better way to understand how an industry works than to learn from a leader in the space. WayUp is offering a once in a lifetime chance to shadow Spencer Lazar from General Catalyst, one of the top ten Venture Capital Firms in the world!

This opportunity will award one college student an inside look at a day in the life of a top Investor in NYC. Imagine sitting on the other side of the table during that initial meeting with the CEO of Airbnb, for example, while he explained his vision for his company. Well, with this opportunity you’ll get to do just that- from the meetings that Spencer will be taking, to the decision process afterwards, you’ll get the full Venture Capital experience. Oh, and we're throwing in a free lunch as well :). At lunch, you will get the ultimate networking experience and will be able to ask Spencer any and all questions about the industry.

More about Spencer: Spencer Lazar is a Principal at General Catalyst Partners who has personally been behind deals like ClassPass, Snapchat, and more. He is a leader when it comes to building innovative technology companies; you may have heard of a few... Airbnb, BigCommerce, ClassPass, Datalogix, Datto, Demandware, Gusto (fka ZenPayroll), The Honest Company, HubSpot, KAYAK, Oscar, Snapchat, Stripe, Warby Parker, and WayUp ;). He is a Harvard Graduate whose passion for VC investing comes from his desire to understand how people make decisions: what success looks like and where we go wrong. Spencer states that, “One of the great joys of this business is getting to partner with students of the past, present, and future." So, the question is, which lucky student will he get to partner with on February 25th?

General Catalyst's Team will look over your application and carefully select a winner based on your answers. Once a winner has been selected, someone from WayUp's Team will contact you by Monday, February 22nd at 11:59PM EST at the latest.

This event will take place on Thursday, February 25th from 10am to 3pm in NYC. Applications close on Saturday, February 20th at 11:59pm.

Feel free to get creative with your answers and best of luck :)
