Why apply for the Factor Fellowship? Let’s answer some of your common questions: About the Factor Fellowship: The Factor Fellowship is a part-time fellowship program that  matches top talent to job opportunities in the NYC innovation economy. The Fellowship was designed by a coalition of leading venture capital firms and fast-growing startups led by Primary Venture Partners. ❓: Why should I apply for the Factor Fellowship? A: The Factor Fellowship is an opportunity for you to explore a new career in the startup space. Our goal is to demystify the often opaque and insular world of venture-backed startups. The program will provide exposure to startup culture, training and mentorship from tech leaders, skill development, and career coaching. You’ll join a network of top talent and build your network while accessing jobs at venture-backed startups. ❓: How much does it cost? A: It’s 100% free for participants! ❓: What does the application process entail? A: The first round, due December 15, asks for your contact information, your resume, and two brief (<3 minute) videos in response to two prompts. The second round is an in-depth written questionnaire, followed by a live interview with a member of the Factor team. The final round consists of a group working session followed by an individual presentation to a panel of leading VCs and startup operators in mid-February. Selected Fellows will be notified by early March. ❓: What is the time commitment of the Factor Fellowship? A: The Fellowship is an 18-week part-time program that requires participants to dedicate 4 to 6 hours per week to in-person program activities. Programming takes place in NYC on nights and weekends from mid-March to early July. ❓: Where can I learn more? Sign up for one of our upcoming info sessions, or reach us at info@factornyc.org!
