Launching Our University Fellowship (2020) 🚀
Are you a current University student who is either looking to start a company, join a high growth startup or learn more about VC investing? We’d love to hear from you.
This year at Unshackled we are stepping up even more for immigrants. You will have heard us say that we believe the American university system is this country’s Ellis Island. Now we want to go one step further to help immigrant students and entrepreneurs.
In these unprecedented times, we’ve seen how COVID-19 has left many students without internships, even facing the prospect of uprooting their U.S. lives (and dreams) to return to their home countries. With this in mind, for 2020/1 we’d like to expand our Fellowship Program to include students in any timezone (this includes international students) who are able and willing to join scheduled calls between 9AM — 5PM PST regardless of where they are currently located. As we open up access to capital for immigrant entrepreneurs, we’d like to do the same for those 1st and 2nd generation immigrants students currently working from their bedrooms in all corners of the world. We know that it’s during this time they’ll be working on their next hustle, and so we have designed our Fellowship Program to provide students with the support, frameworks, and experience they’ll need to 1) have a deep understanding of the world of investing at the earliest stage and 2) provide them with the next steps to either launch their own company or break into an operating role at a high growth startup.
