Core Tasks

• Shadow weekly point-person mentorship sessions with startup founders.
• Participate in core curriculum about various topics central to building and scaling startups.
• Join networking events, reach out to founders, and conduct research on the startup topic of their choosing.
• Collaborate with other fellows on a final project.

Capstone Project

The culmination of the fellowship program is a hands-on project that will allow fellows to apply their learnings to a real-world problem space.

Fellows will be paired with a batch company, identify a problem they are facing, and devise a solution that the founders should implement. At the end of the program, fellows will present their recommendations in a formal presentation format to the entire Free Ventures internal team.
