ABOUT

OUR MISSION

Venture Fellows bridges the classroom and the capital markets. Since 2000, we’ve partnered with more than 80 venture capital and private equity firms nationwide, giving Fellows unparalleled access to live transactions while supplying our partners with top‑tier talent.

FELLOWSHIP EXPERIENCE

  • Internships Fellows intern with a VC or PE firm throughout the academic year, providing valuable research, operations, and analytical support while gaining hands-on investing experience. 

  • Curriculum — Fellows engage in a curated speaker series with top investors and industry experts, learn advanced valuation and financial‑modeling techniques, and apply them through live investment‑committee simulations, term‑sheet negotiations, and company‑formation workshops.

  • Treks — Fellows take two national trips each year, meeting with leading VC and PE firms in hubs such as New York, San Francisco, Miami, and beyond.

  • Network — 450+ Venture Fellows alumni in VC, PE, leading corporations, and high-growth startups open doors worldwide.

  • Outcomes — Fellows have accepted full-time roles at firms such as Blackstone, Evercore, Vista Equity Partners, Silverton Partners, S3 Ventures, and more.
