Compensation and economics
Because it is fully funded, the key economic benefit is access rather than direct pay. Mountside says the free model is intended to avoid selection bias and reduce barriers for underrepresented managers.
Focus and fit
Who the program is for
Program thesis
The programme is thesis-agnostic for fund strategies but focused on emerging European VC managers raising institutional capital. It prioritizes managers with differentiated strategies and helps them improve LP engagement, fund positioning, fundraising operations, and closing their next fund.
Eligibility
The programme is only for General Partners, with highly competitive selection. Eligible VCs are headquartered and investing in Europe, including the UK, and are generally emerging managers raising or managing Funds I-III with either specialist or agnostic differentiated strategies.
Selection approach
Selection starts with a short application, followed by a call, additional information if required, possible reference calls, and then a decision. The official page says places are highly competitive.
