Overview

Susa Ventures created the Fellows Program to widen its sourcing funnel while up‑skilling the next generation of seed investors. Each September–December cohort lasts four months and blends remote learning with two optional weekend summits in San Francisco. Fellows commit roughly five hours per week to:

  • weekly Zoom workshops on thesis development, founder outreach and pre‑seed diligence run by Susa partners;
  • live deal practice inside the fund’s Airtable CRM, where fellows log leads and receive partner feedback;
  • small‑group sessions that dissect recently funded rounds and iterate on cold‑e‑mail copy;
  • 1‑on‑1 mentor calls with alumni now at funds such as Lux, GC Crypto and Y Combinator.

All accepted fellows receive a monthly cash stipend and a carry share on any investment they originate. The curriculum is sector‑agnostic but Susa steers fellows toward its sweet‑spots—logistics, B2B marketplaces, fintech infrastructure and hard‑tech. Since the 2021 pilot, more than 60 fellows have completed the program, sourcing deals that include a Mexico City logistics marketplace and a US vertical‑SaaS company that later raised from Tiger Global. Fellows who hit ≥ 3 qualified leads may renew for a second term or interview for Susa’s full‑time investment‑team openings.
