Community! You’ve got the weekend to tell everyone you know - including your tias - about the LatinxVC Breaking Into VC Fellowship.
LatinxVC is a group of experienced venture investors focused on growing and supporting the Latinx venture capital ecosystem. We aim to grow the number of Latinx professionals in venture capital, help Latinx venture investors grow their careers and network, and increase the dollars flowing to Latinx venture investors.
About the Program
Our 8-week program is designed to prepare participants for a successful role as an Analyst, Associate, and Senior Associate at a Venture Capital firm. The program is designed to help equip Latinx candidates with the tools and community that they need to break into the venture capital industry.
Curriculum/ Programming: Weekly sessions serve as the foundation for demystifying the venture capital trade. Seasoned investors and industry experts will provide in-depth tutelage and training.
Mentorship: Each Fellow will be paired with two VCs to help reinforce lessons, learn how they broke into the industry, answer your questions, and be your champion.
Project Based Learning: Thesis building and hands on learning gives participants a rare first-hand look at a wide array of intellectual and operational challenges venture capitalists navigate.
