About the Award: The Future VC internship programme aims to create to a peer-support group through developing a network amongst participants with weekly catch-ups to share learning and challenges. Each individual will be placed in an internship with one of our partner funds, and in addition, will have access to training to support them in developing the skills needed to succeed in the space.
Masterclasses will be delivered on a weekly basis by highly successful figures from the European Venture Capital industry, with topics such as:
- Finance in VC
- Sourcing founders and spotting outlier
- Raising funds
- Corporate VC
- Evaluating pitches
- Approaching deep-dives in to new sectors
- History of VC
Future VC associates will also be part of a project which will see them assigned to start-ups who they will work with before presenting to an investment panel at the end of the programme. To expose them to the industry across the country they will be making visits to startup hubs outside of London.
