2025 Fellow Sponsorship

If you hosted one of our talented 2024 cohort Fellows, we’re asking to consider paying it forward by sponsoring a Fellow for our 2025 cohort. The average cost of supporting a Fellow from start to finish in the 7-month program is $5,500– we are seeking mid-size donations from our valued employer partners, starting at $1,000. 

The internship phase of Venture Partners’ 7-month Fellowship is often the most transformative. 

Fellows get a chance to apply their newfound skills in real-life settings, providing venture funds with sourcing, screening, and due diligence. 

In return, our employer partners boost their internal capacity by hosting an intern who brings enthusiasm, fresh perspectives, and high-caliber training and education. 

The Fellowship is offered at no cost to participants, which is critical to our ethos of removing traditional wealth and status barriers that have long limited the diversity within VC firms. Similarly, employer partners do not pay to receive an intern.

 Venture Partners is committed to advancing equity and building a solidarity-driven economy. To truly reflect these values, we seek to provide stipends for all our fellows moving forward, ensuring that financial barriers do not hinder participation. This critical support is only possible through the generosity of donors, whose contributions allow Fellows to fully focus on and engage with the internship experience. 

Your donation:

• Is 100% tax-deductible

• Tangibly supports one of the 20 Fellows we admit to our 2025 cohort 

• Strengthens our ability to grow the Fellowship program and engage more employer partners
