E14 Fund VC Fellows are MIT students and postdocs from diverse backgrounds who are action-oriented learners with a few hours a week to spend.
They learn and contribute by:
Shadowing E14 Fund Managing Partners and learning the mechanics of venture
Connecting with potential founders in the MIT community and sourcing startup teams for investment opportunities
Identifying investment themes and theses and conducting due diligence on startups
Building networks and community including organizing your own events
Engaging with portfolio companies to solve go-to-market challenges and meet milestones
Investing! You’ll have the opportunity to write checks (fellowship checks)
Here is what previous fellows have said:
The VC fellows program provides an amazing opportunity to learn firsthand from the E14 partners and build connections across the MIT startup community.
As a scientist who wants to build a deep tech startup, I have learned so much about both sides of the VC world from the E14 team and the founders we work with while being an E14 VC Fellow.
I came to MIT wanting to do start-ups, taking related classes, talking to founders, and doing everything I could to learn everything about start-ups. But the year I spent at E14 taught me SIGNIFICANTLY more than all of that combined.
The E14 VC fellows program has provided me a unique pathway to explore MIT’s entrepreneurship ecosystem: an opportunity to help scientists raise funding and commercialize their research.
The experience was incredibly valuable — it will end up being one of the most consequential aspects of my 5 years at MIT.
Incredible opportunity to learn from and be immersed in the MIT VC ecosystem in a practical way, seeing all sides of the investment process.
