77 Partners backs frontier‑technology founders across Queensland and Australia at pre‑seed and seed, pairing local capital with Silicon Valley know‑how via strategic partner Bee Partners. The firm looks for globally scalable software, data and deep‑tech plays and leverages its US network to fast‑track market‑entry and follow‑on funding.
The program charges no tuition or fees. Retreat accommodation, course materials and coaching are subsidised by VCDF sponsorship. Participants cover their own travel to the retreat and any incidental expenses, but need not forgo income from existing employment due to the part‑time structure.
Expect ~4 hours per week for 12 weeks (two one‑hour live sessions plus prep) and attendance at a Friday‑to‑Sunday retreat at the program start.
Cohort workshops run virtually; Base Camp is held in‑person at O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat (Scenic Rim, QLD). Fellows may optionally co‑work from 77 Partners’ Brisbane office.
Is there any cost to participate?
No. The fellowship is fully sponsor‑funded; tuition, materials and coaching are free. Fellows only cover travel to the retreat.
Do I have to quit my job or studies?
No. Sessions are scheduled before work (8‑9 am) and over lunch (12‑1 pm) on Thursdays, allowing participants to maintain full‑time roles or coursework.
What is the Base Camp retreat?
A two‑day off‑site at O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat (6–8 Sep 2024) where fellows workshop live deals, set personal OKRs and build cohort rapport. Attendance is compulsory.
Who teaches the curriculum?
77 Partners’ investment team leads VC 101 modules; a Silicon Valley executive coach delivers leadership sessions; guest mentors include top female GPs from Australia and the US.
Is the Associate role guaranteed?
At least one fellow—chosen on performance and cultural fit—receives a paid 12‑month VC Associate contract with 77 Partners. Other fellows receive referral support to external funds.
Can non‑MBA candidates apply?
Yes. While the syllabus mirrors Haas Venture Fellows, professional women with tech/startup backgrounds or strong founder networks are equally encouraged.
What deliverables are expected?
Fellows complete two diligence memos, present a sector thesis, and lead a mock investment committee on a live Queensland startup.
How many fellows per cohort?
Cohorts are intentionally small (5‑10) to maximise mentor access and job placement support.
Does the program offer remote participation for the retreat?
No. The immersive nature of Base Camp requires in‑person attendance; travel stipends are available case‑by‑case.
What happens after graduation?
Graduates join the 77 Venture Fellows alumni Slack, gain invitations to 77 Partners demo days, and receive continued coaching for 12 months.
