What to Expect:

The fellowship is structured around a combination of comprehensive activities, engaging reading materials, and community-building events. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of VC, learn how to evaluate potential startups, and develop a robust professional network that will support their growth well beyond the program.

Program Overview:

•Asynchronous Assignments: Throughout the fellowship, participants will work through a specialized workbook, sharing their insights and questions with the community.

These meetings provide a platform to discuss the week’s content, exchange ideas, and deepen understanding of the venture capital landscape.

•Capstone Project: The fellowship culminates in a hands-on investment simulation, where participants create an investment memo and term sheet, applying everything they’ve learned throughout the program.
