Vencapital is a fund and program for aspiring minority and female investors. We train and place them as venture fellows at top-tier VC firms including Sequoia Capital, Omidyar Network’s Flourish Ventures, Tiger Global backed Valia Ventures and more to gain hands-on experience and successfully grow their investor network.
Through our scout fund we are able to back founders sourced during each program circle. We also run syndicates and deal referrals practice that combines venture scouting with backend fundraising support for founders seeking pre-seed financing.
We support companies that are at post ideation stage, and help showcase their compelling value proposition, business model and current traction to our growing network of fund managers and operators to provide the support they need to build and scale into new markets.
We are actively sourcing deals and open to new applications.
