Hear the stories of startup leaders and project managers who got their start with Venture for America and gain insight into how the Fellowship shaped their entrepreneurial career. During this event you will hear from our Fellow guest panelist, Zachary Andreason (‘22 Charlotte) about his VFA experience, and working in project management.

Venture For America aims to mobilize the next generation of entrepreneurs and equip them with experience, training, and community to become startup leaders and founders. During the two-year Fellowship, our Fellows are salaried, full-time employees at startups or high-growth companies in one of our 13 cities, with many working in project management roles.

Through the program, Fellows find lifelong friends, an entrepreneurial community, and a network of individuals to help take their career and ambitions to the next level. We’ll walk you through our mission, how Fellows find their job, common roles and industries available to Fellows, plus the programming, community, and resources. We’ll close out with a Q&A with our panelist.

Venture For America Fellows work in a range of roles and industries. In this event, we’ll highlight one of our most common roles for Fellows, which is project management. Project Management involves the planning and organization of a company’s resources to move a specific task, event, or duty toward completion. It can involve a one-time project or an ongoing activity, and resources managed include personnel, finances, technology, and intellectual property, and more.
