Beginning in January 2018, Fund Analysts will be mentored by local venture capitalists and investment professionals.
In fall 2018, Fund Analysts who complete the training successfully will be promoted to Fund Associates and will begin to scout, analyze and manage early-stage investments in student, alumni and community startups.
Students may choose to receive 1 hour of class credit in Entrepreneurship (ENTR) or Finance (FNBK).
