Summary
- A six-month paid opportunity in VC and startups. Opportunity will begin in January 2023 (training to begin remotely in mid-Dec)
- A unique opportunity to grow your career. Past Venture Fellows have a rich experience and have gone on to roles in our portfolio, founding startups, or joining other VCs
- Applications are closed!
Our Venture Fellow program has proven to be a great avenue for recent graduates of undergraduate programs to break into the world of venture capital and startups in a "learn by doing" environment. Venture Fellows are key members of our team and get exposure to all aspects of running a venture firm: sourcing, diligence, post-investment support, and investor relations.
“Dynamo’s culture and Venture Fellow role is truly unique. Not only do you get to work with world-class partners on projects that actually add value and learn from experts in the space, but you also get to meet and analyze early-stage startups across the world that are shaping the future of supply chain and mobility every day.”
Leo Girlando EM (LatAm) Local Institutional Sales, Bank of America
Our Venture Fellows have a rich experience and have gone on to roles in our portfolio, founding a business, or joining other VCs.
“As a Venture Fellow, I was provided with hands-on venture capital experience and mentorship that spanned much further than my time at Dynamo. The experience helped me understand the startup landscape at a deeper level, allowing me to find my place in the community now running social media for Jason Calacanis’ This Week in Startups.”
