Apply NowIn previous years fellows have taken part in expanding dealflow, helped evaluate companies, built processes, crafted reports, and were involved in fundraising. Each VC is different and the eventual work is ultimately up to you and them. The tasks will of course partly depend on your strengths.
The process consists of the application, a small practical task, and an interview. Do note that the organizers are in charge of the selection process. They make recommendations to the funds about who to choose, so it's likely that you will not meet the team you will be working with beforehand.
Early-stage funds investing in the first few funding rounds of startups. Some of the funds invest globally while others have a clear geographical focus. A few of the funds are specialized - such as in the games industry or in supply chain and mobility startups. Others are industry agnostic. Most of the funds have teams of under 10 people.
Venture capital is a highly opaque part of the startup world. There are usually select few chances for people to break into the space and we wanted to give people a chance to get a practical view behind the curtain. While we of course welcome applications from the young and ambitious, the program is by no means only aimed at students or the recently graduated.
A small few joined the funds they worked with as part-time or full-time employees. We've also seen a number of them join other funds not part of the program. And of course some have gone onto found their own startups. So far we've run the program a few times in the last three years, so we still expect great things to come from our alumni.
Approximately 15-20 hours. However, you can agree on different hours with the fund you eventually end up working with. Each week we will also hold an hour-long session among all the fellows where we explore various VC topics in a discussion or presentation held by the investors.
Absolutely! When we open applications next, we’d be happy to review applications from former applicants who have advanced their work.
