The VC Fellowship

The VC Fellowship is HireVC's main programme: an online, cohort-based course that teaches the fundamentals of venture investing. It combines live sessions with mentorship from practising investors and networking within a community of fellows. It is a career and training programme for people who want to work in venture capital, not a startup incubation or funding programme.

Who can apply

• Corporate professionals, startup leaders, c-suite executives, entrepreneurs and angels aspiring to work in venture capital
• Applicants typically with five or more years of experience, from fields such as technology leadership, product strategy, corporate finance, management consulting, entrepreneurship, or specialised legal and operational roles

How selection works: HireVC describes a highly selective admission process, stating an average acceptance rate of three to five per cent.

How to apply: Apply through the application form on the Fellowship page; a selection committee reviews applications and successful applicants receive an email with the next steps.
