Training the Next Generation
Technology Investors
The Next Gen Investors program works with career explorers and MBA, PhD, JD, MD, college, and high school students to train and encourage the next generation of diverse investors. Diversity takes many forms - gender, ethnicity, geography, socioeconomic backgrounds, first time college students, world view, sector, or technologies. Our goal is to make VC accessible by enabling the opportunity to learn investing from early stage venture capitalists and entrepreneurs developing the future of health, work, education, operations, and computing. We seek to invest our time, talents, and treasure in the next generation of investors, entrepreneurs, and leaders to make a positive impact on the future of the world. We meet weekly to discuss entrepreneurial and frameworks, de-mystify venture capital, and build the future together. Everyone has a unique history and worldview - tell your story, actively listen to others, and be the change you wish to see in the world.
