Gen Z VCs Fellowship is a short, paid venture-capital work-experience program launched by Gen Z VCs in Fall 2023 for students and recent graduates looking to break into VC. The program provides hands-on experience working with partner VC firms and GPs.

Gen Z VCs aims to elevate Gen Z voices within venture capital by providing hands-on experience and democratizing access to industry knowledge. The fellowship focuses on creating pathways into the venture capital industry for young leaders and aspiring investors.

Applicants should demonstrate a passion for venture capital and a willingness to learn. Engaging with the community and showcasing any relevant experiences can strengthen applications.

The fellowship welcomes students from any background, recent college graduates, and career changers interested in VC. No formal investment experience or accreditation is required.

Interested individuals can apply for the fellowship through a competitive application process. The program is open to students, recent graduates, and career changers interested in venture capital.

Participants gain hands-on experience, mentorship from industry professionals, and access to a vast network of investors and founders. The program also provides opportunities for skill building in deal evaluation and sourcing.

The Gen Z VCs Fellowship is structured as a 1-week intensive program, allowing fellows to immerse themselves in the venture capital experience.
