About VC fellowships

A VC fellowship gives you a seat inside the investing process for a season. Fellows typically source and evaluate companies, join partner meetings, and learn from a cohort.

Who it is for: students, early-career professionals, and operators exploring a move into venture.

What you get: mentorship, a cohort, exposure to real deals, and a line on your resume that funds recognize. Some fellowships pay a stipend, some share carry, and some are unpaid.

How people get in: most run an annual application window. Strong applicants show evidence that they already notice companies early and can write clearly about why.
