Venture University's Investor Accelerators Are Designed For Individuals Looking To Gain High Quality Investment Experience In Order To Break Into The VC/PE Industry, Launch Their Own Funds, & Advance Their Careers If you have any questions regarding Venture University's programs, please e-mail: jenna@venture.university or schedule a call: https://calendly.com/ventureuniversity/30min/ Venture University's investment fund invests initially $20K-$1M+ per company and up to $15M in follow-on rounds. Every three months, Venture University develops 3-5 investment theses and makes 3-5 new investments. Venture University's trade school is designed as an Investor Accelerator and includes both a VC/PE Investment Apprenticeship and Academic Program. Venture University accepts <2% of the applications it receives, making it more competitive to get into than the top Ivy League schools and MBA programs. The Investor Accelerator includes individuals who aim to join venture capital and private equity funds or individuals who are new hires at VC/PE funds, angel investors and family offices who seek to professionalize their investment strategies, aspiring new fund managers, entrepreneurs who want to learn to think like investors, experienced professionals who would like to make career transitions, and undergraduate and graduate students (many MBA's use it as a "VC/PE finishing school"). Individuals that are accepted into the Investor Accelerator gain quality investment experience, build a deep network within the startup and VC/PE industry, and share in the financial upside from the investments made. Venture University is redefining the value of an investment fund by creating an investment team that is capable of covering markets broader, deeper, faster, and smarter than a typical fund, providing a powerful network that can better support portfolio companies, and offering greater value to LPs.
