Hi,
I’ll soon be applying to MiM programs at these three schools and wonder which one provides me the best chance to break into VC in Europe. (I am a B2 in French, but generally don’t care where I work, provided that it’s somewhere in Europe). Which one would you recommend?

All 3 are top programs and not much to chose from in terms of your post-MIM goals. If you get into all 3 I would recommend making a decision based on which program will cost you the least.
One other way would be speaking to alumni of all 3 schools who've broken into VC in Europe. Leverage platforms like LinkedIn search for the same and then make a decision based on their feedback.
Best,

@ bbbg5 - While all 3 are great programs, I would suggest considering these factors to help prioritize:
1. VC recruitment gets primarily driven by networking and internships, besides past relevant experience (if any). London has a locational advantage in terms of being a global financial hub. Paris too has a vibrant scene (which is growing well), and some VC firms/ roles may require B2 (or above) French. Your personal preference would play a major factor in the geographical decision i.e. do you prefer staying in London/ UK, or want wider access and mobility within EU (France/ Germany etc.). If former, LBS would suit well and if latter, HEC/ INSEAD would.
2. INSEAD's MiM program is relatively new(er) compared to the other two. While this shouldn't be a point of concern (given the school's overall brand and network are very strong), it's something to factor in.
3. Looking at the employment reports to identify what % of the class (over the past 3-5 years) joined VC can provide more objective data points, which can be augmented by speaking to alumni in such roles. This would also give you a broader idea of the culture/ "vibe", which is also a key factor to consider as you'd be spending time and capital.
Hope this helps a bit. Feel free to reach out through the link(s) below with your profile if you'd like to have a deeper conversation.
