Venture for America careers

Venture for America is a is a two-year fellowship program for recent grads who want to work at a startup and create jobs in American cities. Fellows learn important startup skills at our month long Training Camp, apply for jobs within our vetted company network, and work for two years as full-time, salaried employees in one of 18 cities. When Fellows are ready to start a company—be it two years after college or ten—VFA has the resources (like a crowdfunding competition, accelerator, and seed fund) to help make that dream a reality.

Venture for America is creating economic opportunity in American cities by mobilizing the next generation of entrepreneurs and equipping them with the skills and resources they need to create jobs.

We're based in NYC, but our program operates in 18 cities across the country, including Detroit, New Orleans, Baltimore, Denver, Cincinnati, and many more. We've helped more than 700 Fellows and alumni get full time startup jobs.
