Fellowship
UndercoverVC was a student venture capital network and fellowship program operating from 2019 to 2021 that created equitable access and opportunity for student entrepreneurs at underrepresented colleges nationwide. The organization identified talented but overlooked student founders at lesser-known universities, validated their business ideas, helped them craft compelling pitches, and connected them with venture investors. During its two years of operation, UndercoverVC reached 25+ university campuses, partnered with 15 venture funds, and supported over 60 fellows. The program was founded on the principle that exceptional founders exist everywhere, not just at Ivy League schools, and worked to democratize access to venture capital.
