Deadline: March 1, 2022

Applications are invited for the Kapor Fellows: Venture Capital Program 2022. For over 10 years the Kapor Center has run summer internship programs designed to provide career pathways to exponentially accelerate the number of underrepresented individuals entering tech companies, venture capital and tech-based entrepreneurship.

This year the Kapor Fellows: Venture Capital Program (formerly known as the Kapor Capital Summer Associate Program) is growing to include 6 partner funds who will also host summer associates. Partner funds represent both direct investors in technology startups and Limited Partners who invest in fund managers. Partner funds are led by diverse leadership teams and invest across a range of sectors.

In addition to working with a fund, a few summer fellows will work with a group of four Kapor Capital portfolio companies who are developing a shared offering to help low income citizens of color in cities. The companies span energy, fintech and workforce development.

Fellows’ Tasks

  • Review and analyze pitch decks and meet with entrepreneurs
  • Deliver high quality analytical insights on various technologies and markets on a macro and micro level; provide input to investment team members
  • Provide support for various market and technology research projects. Specific activities include but are not limited to: sector research; analysis on investment portfolio returns; and financial modeling
  • Assist in deal execution under mentorship of investment team members. Responsibilities may include helping to draft Investment Memos and reviewing legal documentation
  • Complete a Summer Capstone project related to each candidates interest and each firm’s needs. Past projects have included:
    • Helping portfolio companies create a welcoming culture for people from diverse backgrounds
    • Researching what platform services other early stage VCs and technology incubators provide to entrepreneurs
    • Sector landscape analysis and strategy recommendation

Benefits
