The Berkeley Haas Venture Fellows program is a selective fellowship designed for MBA, EWMBA, and EMBA students at the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business who demonstrate exceptional interest and capability in the venture capital industry. The program provides participants with direct, hands-on experience in venture capital through project work, networking opportunities, and engagement with the broader VC ecosystem. The fellowship brings together a curated group of high-performing graduate students with established venture capital professionals and organizations across the Bay Area. The program recognizes that venture capital education requires more than classroom learning—it demands practical engagement with real investment opportunities, portfolio companies, and the decision-making processes that define the industry. Haas Venture Fellows engage in three core activities: VC Project Work, VC Connect events, and the Venture Capital Speaker Series. Through project work, fellows collaborate directly with prominent Bay Area venture capital firms on real investment analysis, sourcing, and due diligence activities. VC Connect provides structured networking opportunities to build relationships with venture capital professionals and entrepreneurs. The speaker series brings leading venture capitalists, founders, and operators to campus to share insights and perspectives on the venture ecosystem. The program maintains a strong alumni network of UC Berkeley alumni working in the venture capital industry across top-tier firms and emerging platforms. This alumni network provides ongoing mentorship, career guidance, and community for program participants. The fellowship is positioned as a key pipeline for Haas MBA students interested in pursuing venture capital careers at leading firms.
