G-Fellows
Join the Top Venture Capitalists Today!
G-Fellows brings together an exclusive cohort of the most driven undergraduate students from top universities across the country for four weeks from April 10 to May 10. Each G-Fellow sources promising startups, tracks emerging industry trends, and nominates founders to pitch leading investors. G-Fellows are guided by top VC and founder advisors, and get direct access to some of the hottest startups in Silicon Valley through hands-on workshops designed to help them land their dream internship and become truly industry-ready. This is real experience — the network, the reps, and the credibility to walk into any room in venture or tech and belong there. Grace Gong founded G-Fellows — part of Smart Venture Media — alongside Founding Fellow Siya Verma, who has been with the program from day one, to bridge the gap between the most talented students in the country and the venture world they're trying to break into
