We’re excited to have three Venture Fellows joining us at Dynamo. Please give Charles, Leo, and Warren a warm welcome. One thing we are testing this go-around is to offer our program to full-time students as we continue to mature as a firm. We’re grateful for Charles’ willingness to go on that journey with us in refining and improving our program.

As Fellows, they will be involved in all aspects of the venture investment and fund management process. This trio will source startups, take meetings with Partners, and research markets, among other things.
