Your Window Into the Innovation Economy

Venture capital has long been one of the hardest industries to break into due to a classic demand and supply imbalance; an enormous amount of highly talented candidates compete for a very small number of open positions, which are usually gatekept through exclusive, hard-to-access networks. Alumni Ventures (AV), one of the world’s most active venture capital firms, built its Venture Fellow Program to change that. Now entering its twelfth year, the program is designed to give high-potential professionals from outside traditional venture circles a real pathway into the notoriously “clubby” industry: one built on learning, contribution, and direct exposure to the work itself.
