Break Into Venture Capital Without Playing Guesswork

A curated list of VC job boards, fellowships, and programs for people who are serious about getting into the industry.

Getting into venture capital is opaque on purpose. Jobs are rarely advertised widely. Fellowships fill quietly. And most people only hear about real opportunities through private networks. This page is designed to cut through that. You will find hand picked VC job boards, fellowships, and programs that consistently surface real roles and real access. Use it to move from “I want to work in VC someday” to “Here is where and how I am applying this quarter.”

VC Fellowships and Apprentice Programs

Fellowships and Apprenticeships. Structured Entry Points Into VC

If you do not have a deep network in venture yet, fellowships and apprentice style programs are often the cleanest way in. They give you a defined cohort, real work, and access to partners who would never respond to a cold email. The fellowships in this section range from student focused to mid career. Read the eligibility criteria carefully. Then target the ones where your background and thesis are a strong fit.
