Fellowship Perks & Opportunities
</aside>
This is not your average internship. Actually, it’s not an internship at all. You’re not working for DraperU Ventures. The fellowship is designed to teach you the ins and outs of venture capital and the private sector of innovation. And you definitely won’t be running around grabbing coffee — unless it’s for a meeting with a founder building the future of AI, robotics, or space tech.
Draper University Venture Capital Internship is a hands-on opportunity to learn the inner workings of VC from the inside. You’ll work directly with the DraperU Ventures investing team — early investors in companies like SpaceX, Robinhood, Tesla, and OpenAI — to help us find and support the next generation of legendary startups.
You’ll also work alongside 40-80 entrepreneurs who are actively building the next big thing. You could even find your next angel investment or career / mission you’re passionate about. And maybe even join a founding team working on a mission you’re passionate about. The possibilities are endless.
