Angelfund.ai is a Silicon Valley-based startup that connects startups to relevant investors. The firm created a year-long Venture Fellow program to offer hands-on experience in how venture capital works and how startups get funded.

Fellows join a team led by the deal flow team at Angelfund.ai and have access to the inner workings of startup evaluation. The fellowship is designed as an entrepreneurial role with clear definitions of success and a path for internal advancement. Key responsibilities include building knowledge and relationships in the fellow's local startup ecosystem to identify compelling startups, developing new strategies for sourcing local startup opportunities, and conducting monthly interviews with top-tier investors discussing startups, tech, and venture capital.

The time commitment is 5-15 hours per week, making it compatible with other professional or academic obligations. No financial, investment banking, or private equity background is required. At the conclusion of the program, fellows understand the keys to success in VC and how to evaluate early-stage startups. Current Angelfund.ai investors and partners provide training, support, and instruction throughout the program.
