Overview

The 1752vc Venture Fellow Program is an 8-week live, discussion-based venture capital education and scout pathway for aspiring investors, operators, founders, professionals, and unaccredited investors who want to learn VC from inside an active fund. The program combines VC education, case-study discussion, deal sourcing, thesis-building, startup evaluation, private Slack community access, curated VC jobs, shadowing current due-diligence calls, cold deck reviews, post-course Q&A/coaching, and a pathway to become a scout after completing the 8-week class.

Investment focus

The fellowship is stage/sector flexible as a training and sourcing pathway, but Lucas Pols' stated investment focus centers on AI, B2B SaaS, climate tech, and the future of work, with emphasis on AI middleware/application layers and go-to-market execution.

Program details

Applicants should ensure they are available for the Monday evening sessions and be prepared to engage actively in discussions and deal sourcing.

Who it is for

The program is for aspiring venture capitalists, industry professionals moving into angel/advisory/investing roles, entrepreneurs seeking the investor side of the table, and unaccredited investors interested in venture capital. No formal degree, location, accreditation, or prior investing prerequisite is disclosed on the public page.
