Venture For America is a fellowship for recent grads who want to learn how to build a business while making an impact. VFA Fellows get training and join a startup in an emerging US city, where they live and work for two years at one of our hundreds of partner companies. They learn hands-on what it takes to build a company, while getting the mentorship, network, and ongoing support to prepare themselves to become successful entrepreneurs. The goal is to spark job growth in cities that need it by sending top-talent to help grow the businesses that will make it happen.
The VFA Fellow network is far-reaching across the US (and abroad!) and will only continue to grow as the fellowship ages. Through it, the early years of my career have been in high-impact roles at fast-growing companies. With the foundation of skills I have built through VFA, I expect to grow myself and the causes I care about more each year.
