📚 Spring 2022 Fellowship Applications Open!
We are so excited to share that applications for the second cohort of the LatinxVC Fellowship are now open! This program is for early-career Latinx professionals (~2-7 years of FT work experience) who are interested in recruiting for VC in the next 12 months. If this sounds like you, you can read more about what the program entails here and apply here.
We had great success with the fellowship last year, with many of our fellows finding jobs in venture, so we are excited to run it again and expand our impact! Last year we had rockstar instructors including Miriam Rivera from Ulu Ventures, Vanessa Larco from NEA, Jacob Mullins from Shasta, and more. We plan to keep that same level of quality this year. The deadline to apply is March 27th and we plan to start the 8-week program on April 21st.
Los Angeles event was a blast, thanks to board members Carmen Palafox and Al Guerrero for hosting!
Art, NFTs, Tacos, and LatinxVC community came together to experience the Mirus Gallery with friends in LA’s Arts District. We hold events throughout the year in NY, SF, Chicago, LA, and Miami, stay tuned for more to come in 2022!
