Overview

Vencapital VC Fellowship is an eight-week remote venture finance fellowship for aspiring investors, especially minorities and women seeking entry-level experience in venture capital and private equity. The program includes intensive training, mentorship, deal sourcing, due diligence exposure, and internship placement with partner firms. Since launching in 2019, Vencapital has graduated over 200 fellows, with more than 50% now working in VC roles.
