Previous "VC Fellows"

The Haas Venture Fellows is a select group of Haas MBA students who receive hands-on experience in the venture capital industry by undertaking project work for prominent Bay Area venture capital firms. The group develops relationships with general partners at VC firms, agrees on projects to undertake, and delivers results directly to the venture capital firm. The group also maintains a network of UC Berkeley alumni working in the venture capital industry and contacts to entrepreneurship initiatives accross UC Berkeley.

The Haas Venture Fellows have completed projects with a growing number of firms that includes August Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, Mohr Davidow Ventures and Trinity Ventures.

In addition, the Haas Venture Fellows organize the HVF Pitch Lab, a forum for entrepreneurs from the greater UC Berkeley community to practice their pitches and receive constructive feedback in a neutral environment.

The Haas Venture Fellows is a program of the Lester Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at UC Berkeley. The program is made possible in part through funding by the Price Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies.
