VC Fellowship

Breaking into VC doesn’t have to be a crapshoot.

We assembled a dream team of VC pros that led a 6-part masterclass on the ins and outs of VC, preparing Yale’s next generation of entrepreneurs and investors.

The lectures will be in person, covid permitting, and there will be a few other community social events throughout the semester.

We’ll cover everything from how a VC fund works, the VC landscape, how to get into VC and more!
