“Aside from learning a tremendous amount about the industry and key technical knowledge, [I] have been blown away and forever inspired by my peers, fellowship leaders, and guest speakers. I have begun to view venture capital as a pivotal agent of change in the issue areas that mean the most to me: educational equity, climate and agricultural technology, and health equity.”

“The Girls Into VC Fellowship was a wonderful experience. I was embraced into a community of ever-supportive and inspiring young women. Over the ten weeks, I built a foundational understanding of VC and dove deeply into the sector I’m passionate about. The program’s structure perfectly balanced exposure to multiple sectors while catering to my specific interests. Among my sector-focused cohort, my peers were eager to offer career advice and support my entrepreneurial endeavors. Through hands-on activities, including an investment simulation, I feel confident pursuing future VC opportunities. The fellowship is a safe space where we celebrate one another, share opportunities, and recognize that there are no wrong questions to be asked…. I would absolutely recommend the fellowship to any young woman eager to dive into VC…. This has been one of the best experiences of my life, thank you for making me feel like a part of something so much bigger than myself!”

“I am so so glad i stumbled across this program and decided to apply. There aren’t that many beginner friendly programs in VC so this fellowship will always have a special place in my journey.”

“Thank you to you for starting this. I remember applying to it just out of curiosity, but did not expect to find out that VC is something I genuinely want to pursue as a career down the line. The final project really forced me to jumpstart my journey with a business idea that I've had for a while, so I've started ideating, reaching out to my network, and planning the future direction of this potential startup! I'm really grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of this fellowship and to have met so many wonderful girls. Thanks a million!”
