Venture for America Fellowship 2014
Venture for America is a 2-year fellowship program that sends young, talented graduates to work for startups in emerging cities (ie. Cincinnati, Detroit, New Orleans, Providence, Las Vegas), with the goal of mobilizing them as entrepreneurs moving forward.
We recruit the best and brightest recent college graduates, provide them with training and mentorship, and place them at partner startups to help build those organizations. This is an opportunity for students who want to learn how to build companies.
The ultimate goal is that a substantial proportion of VFA Fellows will become successful entrepreneurs, preferably rooted in the communities to which they're assigned.
