VC is where M&A careers go to die. It might sound appealing to work with trendy firms on hot technology. But realistically, VC means working on minority investments with startups. Contractual structures are completely different than in M&A. There's not a lot of negotiating - contractual templates are the norm. Valuation methods are different. If you want to work in M&A or Private Equity, don't get into Venture Capital.

One could say that Tuluhan Erdemi ditched corporate caution for M&A freelancing. He initially kickstarted his career at EY Turkey, and eventually led corporate M&A at neo-bank N26. Now based out of Frankfurt, Germany, he then embraced consulting on his own terms. But why? Tuluhan chose to freelance for its agility and freedom, especially aiding firms without in-house M&A structures. He focuses on tech and healthcare.
