SPOTLIGHT SHINING ON VENTURE FOR AMERICA

About Venture for America


THE CHALLENGE


Enterprising college graduates crave hands-on business experience to learn how to develop a business and create value. At the same time, many promising businesses struggle to identify, recruit, and enlist talented college graduates, in large part because they lack the resources and scale to engage in on-campus recruiting.


OUR MISSION


Venture for America will recruit the best and brightest college grads to work for two years at emerging start-ups and early-stage companies in lower-cost cities (e.g., Detroit, Providence, New Orleans). Modeled after Teach for America, Venture for America will provide a path for entrepreneurship to college grads who want to learn how to build companies and create jobs.


Goals:


Drive talent to create jobs and spur enterprise in lower-cost cities.

Provide a path for entrepreneurship for young, talented college graduates.


Encourage entrepreneurship in parts of the United States that struggle to attract young college graduates.


The goal is that a substantial proportion of the VFA Fellows will become successful entrepreneurs, preferably rooted in the communities to which they’re assigned. Venture for America's purpose is job generation - our goal is to generate 100,000 U.S. jobs by 2025.
