Description
Pegasus’ Venture Fellow program was created to offer education and industry experience through a live discussion-based model led by our founding partner.
In our Venture Fellow Program, you will explore all aspects of venture capital, from sourcing deals to term sheets and fund construction.
Our unique approach involves deep discussions around case studies of real startups, real deals, and real situations to delve into the rationale behind investment decisions.
This hands-on experience provides concrete, live examples for each learning principle, helping you retain and leverage this knowledge as you develop your investment thesis.
By the end of the program, you will have a solid foundation and conviction to navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of what constitutes a winning investment.
We accomplish this through live virtual weekly conversations in small groups.
