Overview

The Chicago Blend Venture Fellowship is a selective, cohort‑based program created to open venture‑capital career paths to professionals who have been historically excluded from the industry. Fellows spend four months sourcing and evaluating live deal flow for a host VC firm while completing a parallel curriculum that combines VC University online modules with weekly small‑group sessions led by Chicago‑area general partners and founders.

Workshops cover cap‑table math, term‑sheet negotiation, market‑sizing, and inclusive founder support. Fellows also receive structured mentorship, a dedicated peer community, and a downtown coworking pass that keeps them embedded in the local startup scene.

The fellowship culminates in a demo‑day–style capstone where each fellow presents an investment memo to a panel of partner‑level investors.
