Flywheel Ventures Seeking Candidates for Fellows Program
At its core venture capitalism is an apprenticeship business, requiring an approach that includes hands-on mentoring and close guidance. Successful venture investors, with vision and judgment, are made not born.
We are pleased to offer students the prospect of working as a summer apprentice with New Mexico-based Flywheel Ventures. The Flywheel Fellows program is dedicated to serving as a sophisticated tool that builds successful leaders, teams and organizations. Working in both a Flywheel investment analysis and portfolio company operations capacity, students gain an appreciation of and experience with the partnership building, strategy and tactical execution required to build venture-backed technology start-ups. Students are immersed in and work directly with Flywheel with responsibilities in areas such as opportunity analysis, investment due diligence, market ecosystem mapping and portfolio governance. Additionally, students can be dedicated operationally to one or more of Flywheel’s portfolio companies in areas such as strategy, finance, sales and marketing, product management, and business development. Each student has the full Flywheel resources and network behind them, stretching worldwide and including a unique blend of classic strategy, hands-on practicality, depth and authenticity in all areas of technology entrepreneurship and investment.
Sitting at the intersection of venture capital and high technology entrepreneurship, the Program has been designed to help students to develop a practitioner’s understanding of the techniques for investing in and growing successful emerging technology companies. In addition, one of the greatest long term benefits is the ability to leverage the evolving Flywheel Fellows Alumni Network. It is a select group.
Interested students should submit a resume and cover letter that addresses areas of interest, expectations for career experience, and why you are a good fit for the Fellows program to fellowapp@flywheelventures.com by April 15. Enrollment is limited. Students who accept admission to the program become Flywheel Fellows, allowing the best and brightest to put their talents to work in the Southwest / Rockies by investing first institutional capital in promising ventures.
The 2011 Flywheel Fellows class will be announced in May and the Program runs from June 13 through August 5. This is an unpaid internship opportunity.
