Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this program for?
The Fellowship is designed for VC professionals with up to five years of experience, from all countries, at all seniority levels, and any walk of life.
What kind of knowledge and mentoring do participants receive?
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.
For the mentoring part, participants have several online sessions per month with Founder Aram Attar, where we cover your questions and analyze real-life startup pitches and pitch decks to help you build an “unbiased VC muscle” when evaluating investment opportunities.
The online mentoring sessions last 30-60 minutes, occur at different times to allow for time zone differences, and are shared via an online calendar two weeks in advance.
How long does the Fellowship last, and what commitment is expected from participants?
The program is self-paced, but participants typically engage over a six-month period. Participants are expected to engage actively with the online materials to fill any knowledge gap they have and make the mentoring sessions more productive.
Is there a cost to join the Fellowship?
No, the program is free, operating on a donation-based model. Participants can contribute based on the value they perceive.
