About The Program
The Vencapital Fellowship program was created to help minorities and women learn about venture financing and grow their investor network. Fellows accepted into the program get the opportunity to work with some of the top-tie VC firms in our network as analysts and venture scouts.
The program is set up as an apprenticeship experience combining venture capital training with contract placement within venture firms. The training and mentorship is led by VC mentors in the program with access to our online learning and deals sourcing tools and platforms.
Fellows that complete the training will get matched with VC firms in our network where they will engage in deal sourcing and execution, perform market analysis, provide portfolio support and work on platform projects.
