Bombellii Ventures Fellowship

The fellowship is primarily designed for graduate students, including MBA, master’s and other graduate level candidates, who bring meaningful professional experience and expect to remain enrolled throughout the 2027–2028 academic year.

We particularly value experience in business, technology, entrepreneurship, research, and industry. Exceptional undergraduates and candidates with nontraditional academic pathways are also encouraged to apply.

Applications from candidates worldwide are welcomed. We have a particular interest in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and European Union, where Bombellii is actively developing its investment networks.

Participation arrangements may vary depending on the candidate’s location and applicable legal requirements. Geographic eligibility will be confirmed during the selection process.

Prior venture capital experience is not required. We value professional and academic backgrounds that combine analytical rigor, intellectual curiosity, independent judgment, and an ability to understand emerging technologies and markets.

Our fellows bring diverse perspectives across business, technology, entrepreneurship, finance, research, and industry. Specialized technical expertise can be valuable, but is not required for every investment area. We intentionally seek complementary experiences and perspectives across the cohort.

The fellowship begins with a structured summer learning program from June through August 2027, requiring approximately 20 hours per week.

From September 2027 through May 2028, participation decreases to approximately 10–15 hours per week, with flexibility around classes, examinations, and other academic responsibilities.

Candidates should plan to participate throughout the 12-month program.

The fellowship is fully remote. No travel or relocation is required.

Depending on their location and interests, fellows may have opportunities to attend relevant ecosystem events or engage with local startup and research communities. These activities are optional.

The fellowship is currently designed as an unpaid educational program. There are no application or program fees, and no required travel or relocation.

Participation terms are subject to applicable requirements in each candidate’s location. Where available, Bombellii can support students seeking academic credit or recognition through their universities.

The fellowship does not guarantee subsequent employment with Bombellii Ventures.

Applications open November 10, 2026, and close January 29, 2027.

Candidates can apply through the online application portal linked on this page. The application will ask about your academic and professional background, relevant experience, and interest in early-stage venture investing.

Apply to the Fellowship

Applications will be reviewed in February 2027. Selected candidates will be invited to interviews with members of the Bombellii team during February and early March.

The selection process focuses on candidates’ experiences, analytical thinking, curiosity, and potential to benefit from and contribute to the fellowship’s learning environment.

All applicants will be notified of decisions by March 27, 2027.

The fellowship is designed to prepare participants for opportunities in venture capital and related fields by developing investment judgment, analytical skills, and practical experience.

Fellows may remain connected to Bombellii and its professional network after completing the program. Participation does not guarantee employment or continued engagement with the firm.
