Questions about this program

What academic standing and GPA are required?

For the VC track, applicants may be sophomores, juniors, or seniors and must have at least a 3.5 cumulative GPA. For the technology track, applicants must be sophomores or juniors and meet the same GPA minimum; they must also have completed an Entrepreneurship, Product Management, or User Experience curriculum track. BVCC says applicants in either track may be from any major.

How long is the internship, and what work do VC interns do?

The internship lasts 11 weeks. BVCC describes VC interns as Junior Investment Associates who help experienced professionals evaluate potential investments and conduct market research; the program also describes real project work.

What compensation is advertised?

The internship page advertises $14,000 without specifying a cohort year. BVCC's homepage separately advertises $15,000 or more, also without naming a cohort, so the applicable amount for a particular intake is not established.

When does the internship run, and when are interviews held?

BVCC's undated annual calendar places internship launches in May through July, with VC interviews starting in September and technology interviews starting in November. These references do not confirm dates for a particular upcoming cohort.

How are candidates placed?

BVCC's annual calendar describes placement as first-come, first-served for qualified candidates. The available evidence does not establish a current application route or whether applications are presently being accepted.
