Future VC Internship Program

Future VC is a paid venture-capital internship and development program designed to widen access to careers in VC. It places participants with host venture firms and adds an educational layer of masterclasses, mentoring, professional development, networking, and practical investment work. Future VC is not itself a venture fund.

Future VC's internship program aims to increase diversity and expand access within the venture capital industry. It focuses on recruiting talented individuals from underrepresented groups and provides them with the necessary training and mentorship to succeed in venture capital careers.

Applicants should highlight their diverse backgrounds and demonstrate their passion for venture capital. Strong performance in interviews and a clear understanding of the VC landscape will enhance chances of selection.

The program recruits talented individuals from diverse professional backgrounds, with an emphasis on candidates from underrepresented groups in venture capital. Recent graduates and early-career professionals are encouraged to apply.

Applications for summer internships open several months prior to placement season. Participants undergo competitive screening and are matched with appropriate host firms based on background, interests, and firm needs.

Participants gain direct involvement in investment activities, expert mentoring from experienced VC professionals, and access to a network of industry contacts. The program also offers training in financial modeling, deal mechanics, and professional development.

The internship typically lasts 8-12 weeks during the summer, with a minimum of 8 weeks being standard.

Since its inception, the Future VC Internship Program has successfully placed hundreds of interns with leading VC firms, many of whom have transitioned into full-time roles in venture capital.
