Full-time Georgetown undergraduates (sophomores and juniors) and full-time first-year Georgetown MBA students. International students must have completed at least one full year of academic studies as of the start of the program, in compliance with US immigration and labor laws.

Participating firms post company-specific job descriptions in November. Students apply to those positions in December, firms interview candidates and make offers in January, and the fellowship begins immediately after. Watch this page and Georgetown Entrepreneurship channels for the application announcement each fall.

Fellows take on real analyst work: due diligence on prospective investments, deal sourcing, and assisting portfolio companies. The specifics vary by firm with each participating firm publishing its own job description when it registers.

School-year work is usually unpaid. The full-time summer internship may be paid a market-rate wage, which varies by firm.

The roster changes each year, but recent host firms include Halcyon, In-Q-Tel, 1843 Capital, Rethink Impact, Airbus Ventures, StepStone Group, and many of the most active early-stage funds in the DC region and beyond. See the host firms above for the full picture.

There is no expectation or promise of full-time employment at the end of the fellowship, but some Fellows have secured full-time positions in venture capital through the program, and a year of real deal experience is among the strongest credentials for breaking into VC.

Optionally. When the fall semester starts, the Fellow and the firm may agree to continue a part-time arrangement through the end of the calendar year.

Firms register in November by providing a company-specific job description. Students apply in December, and you interview and select your Fellow in January. To get started, contact Jeff Reid at Jeff.Reid@georgetown.edu.

School-year work is typically unpaid. Summer compensation is at your firm’s discretion. Many firms pay a market-rate summer wage.

Continuity. Your Fellow is with you for a full calendar year — part-time through the spring, full-time over the summer, and optionally part-time through the fall — long enough to contribute meaningfully to diligence, sourcing, and portfolio work rather than ramping up just in time to leave.

The Venture Fellows program is run by the Georgetown Entrepreneurship Initiative in conjunction with the McDonough School of Business and the MBA Career Center.
