This summer, 59 Fellows from across the country came together for one goal: building the skills, networks, and confidence to launch thriving careers.

For eight weeks, they've shown up — virtually, from every corner of the nation — to learn from industry leaders, sharpen their professional skills, and push each other forward. Now it's time to celebrate everything they've built.

Since our founding, Takeoff Institute has built a track record we're proud of: 300+ alumni across seven cohorts, with a 90% placement rate at firms including Goldman Sachs, Google, JPMorgan, McKinsey, Mastercard, Wellington Management, and Bain. Cohort 7 is set to carry that legacy forward.

On Friday, August 7, Takeoff Institute's Cohort 7 fellows will gather in New York City for our 2026 Capstone Showcase, hosted at Wellington Management. The day will bring together fellows, advisors, alumni, and partners for a celebration of hard work and growth:

Welcome Remarks from Takeoff & Wellington Management Teams to kick off the day
Fellow Showcase, where select fellows take the stage to share what they've learned and where they're headed next
A Tour of Wellington Management, giving fellows a firsthand look inside a leading global investment firm
Office Visits across NYC, opening doors to companies and career paths fellows are working toward
An evening social to close out the day in true Takeoff style

This is more than a showcase — it's proof of what's possible when talented young people are given the tools, mentorship, and opportunities to succeed.

Your support makes days like this possible. Join us in celebrating Cohort 7 at Wellington Management. If you are unable the make our in-person Schowcase, please support by donating. Every gift helps us carry momentum into Cohort 8 and beyond.
