About True Ventures + Fellowships:
True was born in 2005 out of a simple vision: create a new kind of venture capital firm that focuses on supporting the earliest stage Founders and their teams. They believe in building community, taking bold risks, and supporting companies throughout their entire lifecycles.

Special guest Ann Crady Weiss will offer information abou the Priya Haji Fellowship and the True Entrepreneur Corps Fellowship (TEC).

True Ventures’ Priya Haji Fellowship is a program for new college graduates—particularly women—seeking their first full-time startup jobs. Fellows are paired with companies in the True Ventures portfolio in the San Francisco Bay Area, with whom they work for nine months.

Established in 2009, True Ventures’ True Entrepreneur Corps (TEC) fellowship brings college students from across the country to the Bay Area to spend the summer with our portfolio companies. For those interested in technology and startups, becoming a TEC Fellow can be a life-changing experience.
