Only 1 applicant out of 450 succeeds in getting a VC job. Breaking into venture capital is challenging because it lacks guidance and a solid strategy. No clear path, No connections. It becomes tough. Definitely tough. I remember being in college, grinding through internships, desperately wanting to crack into consulting. That’s when Rajan introduced me to to a game-changing cohort that guided me through the process. And now, Rajan and his team have launched the The VC Fellowship - a mission to bring transparency and help folks like you and me network and learn from top VCs. The fellowship is a 3 month long structured program, that shortlists 25-30 people out of a pool, with an acceptance rate of 5%. You’ll learn from India’s top VCs working with 3one4 Capital, PeakXV, Blume, Silver Needle, Speciale Invests and many more. A solid structured program. An unmatched network. Thorough support.
