SomosVC Fellowship Success Story: Carol Magalhães Isaacs, CFA 🌟 About Our Fellowship Program: 1) Curriculum/ Programming: Weekly sessions serve as the foundation for demystifying the venture capital trade. Seasoned investors and industry experts will provide in-depth tutelage and training. 2) Mentorship: Each Fellow will be paired with two VCs to help reinforce lessons, learn how they broke into the industry, answer your questions, and be your champion. 3) Project Based Learning: Thesis building and hands on learning gives participants a rare first-hand look at a wide array of intellectual and operational challenges venture capitalists navigate. Carol was a part of our 2022 fellowship cohort and has since landed a full-time role at BBG Ventures. Way to go, Carol!!
