Testimonials
Anya Guzenkova
"Being a part of the London VC Fellowship gave me an opportunity to gain firsthand insight into an industry that is typically hidden behind high wall. It felt great to learn from real VC partners and investors during lectures and then have casual chats with them at the bar afterwards. The program boosts your skills, network and gives an understanding of the field beyond the theory. Thank you! ☺️"
Programme Details
What will I learn by joining?
You will learn everything you need to know to break into a VC firm. Our programme is highly interactive and includes office visits, setting up your own VC events and doing all the standard research, presentations, investment memos, and more. Each week, Fellows will be required to submit assignments. At LVCN, we emphasise our core verticals (found on home page) and encourage broad exposure to both VC firms and startups.
Will this be in person or virtual?
We aim to provide the highest quality VC Fellowship with one in person session per week in central London. These are on Friday evenings to accommodate working professionals and students. Attendance is mandatory.
How will this help my career development?
Students take away various things from the VC Fellowship and learn about all aspects of securing a job including CV assistance, mentorship and connections to VC Partners. Several VC Fellows have successfully broken into the competitive world of Venture Capital through the programme.
How is the Fellowship funded?
To provide the highest value, we rely on charging a fee of £1,250. (excl. VAT). Financial Aid is available for exceptional applicants on an as-needed basis. This is possible because of our fantastic sponsor firms. Past participants have been impressed by the value of the Fellowship (see testimonials above).
How many Fellows per Cohort?
This can vary. Cohort IV aims to bring on 20 of the best students and graduates in London.
Am I guaranteed a VC job or internship if I join?
No! But we will provide you the necessary tools to achieve your dream career in VC, including the chance to interview with some of our incredibly supportive VC Partner firms. On top of that, we will provide you with a network of passionate individuals who are eager to support you on your journey into the space.
