Focus and fit
Who the program is for
Program thesis
Vida Ventures focuses on building and funding biomedical innovations that can become therapies and help patients. Fellowship work maps to that thesis through scientific diligence, clinical and IP evaluation, portfolio-company strategy, and investment-theme development.
Eligibility
Vida prefers life-sciences Ph.D. and/or M.D. degrees completed or in progress, with translational focus favored and additional business experience a plus. Older reposts specify late-stage Ph.D. and M.D. students, postdocs, and residents; the official brochure says remote applicants outside Boston or LA are open to apply.
Selection approach
Current official page asks for first name, last name, email, office location, resume upload, and cover-letter upload. Vida's brochure and outside reposts instruct applicants to submit a cover letter and CV/resume to fellowship@vidaventures.com.
