how it works
A spot is reserved for project work, mentorship, and budget at a VC firm for students referred by the VC Opportunities program.
VC Opportunities applicants undergo a thorough screening process, including a written application and a series of interviews where we look for cultural fit, enthusiasm, motivation, and track record.
We refer Yale’s best students — chosen from a highly selective, curated talent pool — to work on short-term projects and develop relationships at top VC firms. Students will be experienced and have interests aligned with your firm's goals.
