We pair Fellows with ventures based on skills, interests and needs.

Who are Venture Fellows?

Curious commercial thinkers with a desire to explore venture building.

Venture Fellows bring problem-solving ability, commercial thinking and curiosity to frontier technologies. You don't need to arrive with every answer- you need the initiative to ask good questions, explore the evidence and work alongside a technical team.

We welcome people from product, strategy, startups, industry, consulting, commercialisation and business backgrounds.
