LEARN HOW THE VENTURE CAPITAL INVESTMENT PROCESS WORKS
Here at Angelfund.ai, we’re as busy as ever and are excited to announce the search for our next cohort of Venture Fellows. Experience in venture capital is highly sought after but difficult to break into. We created a year-long Venture Fellow program to offer an opportunity for hands-on experience where one can learn how venture capital works and how startups get funded. The individual will join a team of fellows led by the deal flow team at Angelfund.ai and have a rare opportunity to learn the inner workings of startup evaluation. At the conclusion of the program, the fellow will understand the keys to success in VC and how to evaluate success factors in early stage startups. Current Angelfund.ai investors and partners will provide training, support, and instruction for incoming fellows.
