Venture University is seeking ambitious and intellectually curious individuals to join its 11-Week Venture Capital Investor Accelerator Program.
The program is designed for those looking to break into venture capital, start their own funds or syndicates, become angel investors, train while already working at VCs, or become smarter entrepreneurs.
