“This fellowship was my first step into the world of venture capital and impact Investing. I never expected an opportunity like this for someone like me. This fellowship gave me hands-on experience about what it means to operate a VC and knowledge that was unavailable in classes. Because of this experience, I  received a summer internship offer in a Biotech VC!”

“Before this fellowship, the only thing I knew about Venture Capital was that they did it on Shark Tank. The fellowship allowed me to explore my strengths and find a place in venture capital and impact investing. This fellowship expanded beyond the office and helped me create long-lasting relationships with people across different fields. I am so grateful for my time at Patamar.

“This fellowship was my first interaction with both venture capital and impact investing. I wanted to be part of an environment that supported my growth and encouraged me to go beyond my comfort zones. CIF was a great opportunity to learn more about creating a fund and experiencing different sides of VC, including fundraising and pipeline development.”
