Job Description
Venture University is seeking ambitious and intellectually curious individuals to join its 11-Week Venture Capital Investor Accelerator Program.
The program is designed for those looking to break into venture capital, start their own funds or syndicates, become angel investors, train while already working at VCs, or become smarter entrepreneurs. Participants gain hands-on experience, education, and real investment training while actively participating in live deals.
This is a training program and bridge to a long-term career in venture capital and the broader innovation ecosystem—not a short-term program from 11 weeks to one year in length. Think of it as your on-ramp into VC, startup investing, and entrepreneurship.

A curious, analytical mind and a desire to dive deep into deals, industries, and investment theses. They ask the right questions, thrive in a dynamic environment, and are excited by the fast-paced world of innovation and early-stage investing.
Program Experience Includes:
🔍 Hands-On Investment Training – Participate in real deals alongside VU Venture Partners, one of the world’s most active VC funds, with over 110 investments across all major sectors and geographies.
📊 Deal Sourcing & Diligence – Research companies, learn due diligence, evaluate market trends, and present investments at Partners Meetings and Investment Committees.
🤝 Collaborative Learning – Work closely with experienced investors and a global cohort of professionals. Develop investment theses, analyze data, and gain feedback in a real-time environment.
🚀 Career Acceleration – Alumni have gone on to roles at top venture capital funds, launched their own funds and syndicates, built successful startups, and become respected angel investors.
