We've been so lucky to have an incredible cohort of LGBT+ VC fellows, empowering the next generation of innovators & investors. Hear from our alumni, Zoi Moon on her experience, and consider applying today.
Over the past 12 weeks, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in the LGBT+ VC Fellowship, a transformative experience that deepened my understanding of venture capital and its potential to foster diversity and inclusion. During this journey, I engaged in thought-provoking speaker events, hands-on assignments, and enriching weekly sessions that challenged me to think critically about how venture capital can be a force for positive change. One of the most memorable moments was traveling to New York City, where I attended the Prosperity Summit hearing speeches by leading LGBTQ+ activists and venture capitalists, and even spoke at the Summit. Sharing my experiences as a queer individual from the South on stage resonated deeply with many and led to profound conversations about overcoming imposter syndrome and finding one's voice in a male-dominated industry. I also cherished the chance to connect with the inspiring LGBT+ VC legal advisory board over lunch, where I learned invaluable lessons about resilience and authenticity. I am incredibly grateful to Jackson B. and everyone at LGBT+ VC for their mentorship, guidance, and support. Jackson, your belief in me has been a catalyst for my growth, and I am thankful for the incredible network of peers and mentors I’ve connected with during this fellowship. If you are passionate about creating change through venture capital, I highly recommend applying for the next cohort of this fellowship. It’s an unparalleled opportunity to learn, grow, and make a difference. Application link: https://lnkd.in/e3C83CGB Also a huge thank you to The University of Alabama's very own Quoc Hoang, for enabling me to experience this life-changing experiential learning opportunity and travel to New York City for the first time! #venturecapital #firstgen #venture #experientiallearning #queerinbusiness #lgbt+ #investing #networking #alabama #business #starups #invest

See how we run our LGBT+ VC College Fellowship? Very smart, very focused. We don’t overcomplicate things — just opportunities, mentorship, and real-world experience. That’s how you get ahead in the #venturecapital game. Some programs are out here making noise but miss the point. Not us. We’re here to build the next generation of savvy, LGBTQ+ investors. Very prepared. Very polished for every room you walk into-- it's very respectful. It's #demure. A lot of you show up ready to grind, but without direction? It’s like showing up to class with last year’s syllabus. We’re giving you the tools and the guidance you need to crush it in VC. Let’s do this the right way.
