Pack VC Fellowship

Pack Fellows get the opportunity to learn every aspect of the venture capital business - investing in brilliant founders, fundraising for the fund, working with entrepreneurs, and engaging the community with great events.
Fellows will work with Pack Ventures while still in school and working towards your degree. Ideal candidates will commit to Pack from September to June.
We hope every Fellow comes out of this experience with a broad understanding of the venture capital industry and experiences they can leverage to pursue a career in venture or startups.
  • Fellows earn $1000/month.
  • Fellows build an invaluable network of industry and professional contacts.
  • Pack will sponsor Fellows to attend learning events to further their career and studies.
  • International students can apply and this will work with your academic visa.
Candidates should be fast-learners and self-starters. If you think you may want to start a company someday, or if you just want to better understand the economic engine of venture capital, this is a great opportunity for hands-on education.

✔️ A track record of being a standout colleague or teammate, with a high sense of urgency balanced with strong attention to detail, quality orientation and organizational skills.
✔️ A curiosity that can help you thrive in an unstructured environment through resourcefulness, high efficiency and work ethic.
✔️ Outstanding and concise written and verbal communication skills.
✔️ Someone who is comfortable executing with little direction and/or structure, and who will pro-actively ask for clarification or direction when needed.
✔️ Outstanding EQ (emotional intelligence) and the ability to anticipate needs and expectations.
✔️ A sense of humor, empathy for others, and confidence with humility.
✔️ The ability to communicate and collaborate with the utmost integrity, and to maintain trusted confidences, with all internal and external partners.
