Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this program for?
The VC Career Accelerator is designed for professionals working in VC firms, from all countries, at all seniority levels, and any walk of life, who want to strengthen their investment decision-making skills.
What kind of knowledge and mentoring do participants receive?
The VC Career Accelerator is a hands-on, two-day training program to activate core VC skills and mindset principles across your team.
The advanced VC knowledge part is based on the VC Career Accelerator, a tested program that has trained dozens of VCs worldwide. The core learning materials are available online, allowing participants to progress at their own pace.
During the two-day in-person session with Founder Aram Attar, we cover key decision frameworks, analyze real startup cases, and explore common cognitive biases in VC. Participants also get post-session access to the full online platform.
How long does the VC Career Accelerator last, and what commitment is expected from participants?
The in-person training runs over two full days. Participants receive access to the online materials a few weeks in advance, so they can come ready to get the most out of the live sessions. While it’s best to go through the material beforehand, we know people are busy—the sessions adapt to each group’s level of preparation.
Is there a cost to join the VC Career Accelerator?
We operate on a donation-based model because we are a non-profit and want to share this knowledge as broadly as possible. The training itself is free, but we ask participating firms to cover travel expenses and we’ll discuss together what donation, if any, feels appropriate based on your context.
What is the selection process?
If your application is successful, you’ll receive a link to book a 30-minute video call with our Founder. We’ll discuss your motivation and objectives, as well as answer any questions you may have. If we’re mutually satisfied, you’ll receive a link to access the online materials and book your mentoring sessions.
What happens after completing the Fellowship?
After successfully completing the Fellowship, participants may be invited to join The Club for ongoing professional development and networking opportunities.
