Overview
What 645 Ventures MBA Fellowship offers
What 645 Ventures MBA Fellowship is
The 645 Ventures MBA Fellow role is a 6-to-8-month position during the academic year that provides MBA students in the SF/Bay Area with immersive exposure to multiple aspects of the venture capital process. This is a variant of the firm's broader Investment Team Fellowship, specifically designed for MBA candidates who can dedicate in-person time to expanding the firm's Bay Area networks. Fellows collaborate directly with the Investment & Research team, sourcing opportunities and conducting due diligence. A key differentiator of this variant is the network-building mandate: MBA Fellows are expected to expand 645 Ventures' connections across early-stage founders, investors, and tech operators in the San Francisco ecosystem. The role can be structured as either a paid opportunity or for school credit, depending on the fellow's preference and program requirements.
