For the last 18 months, we've run our Venture Fellow program to provide recent graduates of undergraduate programs a hands-on experience in venture capital and startups. Our Venture Fellows are a key member of our team and get exposure to all aspects of running a venture firm: sourcing, diligence, post-investment support, and investor relations.
The fourth Venture Fellow will have the benefit of an ever-improving program that now also includes mentor sessions with some of our closest co-investors. As the program progresses, the Dynamo team will work with the Fellow to provide guidance and introductions for the next step of their career whether it's a role in startups, venture capital, or further studies.
We value diversity and encourage candidates from all backgrounds and walks of life to apply.
