We're thrilled to announce that applications for the 5th flagship Included VC Global VC Fellowship are now open! Join the ranks of 80+ Fellows who have successfully transitioned into the Venture Capital industry. You will hear from some of them in our upcoming Office Hours (dates and times are on our website).

We're super proud of the Included VC Fellows. 80+ Fellows who are now Alumni who were actively looking for jobs in Venture Capital, landed roles in the industry - this is huge. You will hear from some of them in our upcoming Office Hours (dates and times are on our website).

❓𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜𝗦 𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗟𝗨𝗗𝗘𝗗 𝗩𝗖?

Included VC's global Fellowship is the first of its kind fully funded learning experience (think of it like a 'unique VC MBA') with a mission to educate, inspire, coach and place top underrepresented talent into the VC industry.

👉🏾 𝗧𝗟:𝗗𝗥

• Virtual (there are some optional in-person Summits)

• Part-time (you can work and be a Fellow) but we do expect you to invest 15-20 hours a week - this includes working on applications, taking financial modelling courses, personal branding, writing deep dives & attending sessions, etc.

• You must be serious about breaking into the Venture Capital industry. We want to hear about your experiences of trying to get into VC.

• If any of these (or many more) apply to you: 'I'm a mum', 'I'm a student', 'I'm not in tech', 'I'm not in investment banking', 'I'm a medic'... we encourage you to apply!

You miss 💯 % of the shots you don't take. Even if you aren't sure if you qualify for Included VC's Fellowship, still apply - you never know what could happen.

📝 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗟𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗦

• Multiple Choice Questions: These are designed for everyone, not just finance experts. If you're curious, you'll enjoy learning new concepts.

• Written Application: Reviewed by Included VC reviewers (alumni, sponsors, and the Included VC team). You’ll hear back within 3 weeks of the closing date.

We will let you know more information about the next stages if you progress to the next round.

*Please note that each individual answer will be assessed anonymously & independently. Please bear in mind that a reviewer cannot see your full application, they might only read one answer so make sure you provide context to each of your answers.
