Included VC - changing the face of venture capital (2024)

Changing the face of Venture Capital.

Included VC is disrupting the global venture capital ecosystem by providing individuals from diverse backgrounds access into the world of Venture Capital.

What is the Included VC Fellowship?

A 5 month fully funded global VC Fellowship (think 'unique VC MBA').

We source and find THE BEST talent across the globe and help them break into venture capital.

Where aspiring venture capitalists from diverse, overlooked communities gain exclusive access, education and mentorship from the best VCs across the globe - trust us you can't find these learnings anywhere else!

We're on a mission to radically diversify the Venture Capital ecosystem and work towards ensuring that VC is representational of society today in all forms.

We believe varying thought, opinion and background is the core foundation of a strong society. Our goal, through the Fellowship is to increase the number of under-represented communities within the VC industry and create effective multi-generational change.

🎙 Hear from our Fellows

Included VC goes beyond classic diversity initiatives. There's the practical component, but also so much heart and community - which is what's mainly behind its insane success.
I got my first job in VC thanks to Included VC - quite honestly simply because of its brand name. The moment the team heard I'd gotten into Included VC, something shifted. And here I am now 6+ months in a VC role. It's crazy!
At first I did wonder if it was just the brand name, but attending the Fellowship, meeting other Fellows I realise it's because the quality of people involved is unbeaten. Folks are being vetted before they get recruited into VC, which makes so much sense.
It changed my life!

There is a reason why Included VC is one of the most competitive Fellowships out there. There is a reason why: alumni can't stop raving about it. There is a reason why so many, despite not being accepted, continue to apply over and over again. There is a reason why once you're "in" you're a part of a community that is so valuable.
Included VC is by far the best thing I've ever been a part of. This Fellowship gave me so much professionally: the hands-on knowledge from Partners all around the world, the network, and the ability to do things I never thought I could do. It also gave me so much personally: a diverse and supportive community, and friendships with people all over the world.
Included VC exceeded my expectations. It challenged me in more ways that I could have imagined. A huge thank you to Niki, the Partners, speakers, and alumni for their dedication, kindness, support, and encouragement.

I'd recommend INVC to any aspiring VC - (brace yourself for a controversial opinion) - over a masters degree from the fanciest biz school.
You're gaining unparalleled, no frills, insider knowledge and skills straight from the source.
You're gaining mentors that take a passionate and personal interest in your success.
You're gaining a global family who will back you for LIFE.

Included VC was a life-changing experience: although I had some knowledge of the VC industry, the depth and details shared by practitioners from the top-performing VC funds took it to the next level!
Another unique aspect of INVC is the community and sense of belonging - I was challenged, I had to get out of my comfort zone, get disciplined and explore topics unknown to me previously.
Niki has been a great mentor and fostered the INVC community and made the fellows feel welcomed and appreciated. They have created something magical indeed!
Finally, the lifelong friendships I've made are very rare and I know that I have a trusted circle of like-minded friends that are always there to help and support me!
