Become a Halogen
Ventures Fellow
Building the Next Generation of Venture Capital Leaders
The Halogen Ventures Fellowship provides exceptional undergraduate and MBA students with hands-on experience in venture capital. Fellows gain exposure to early-stage investing, learn directly from the Halogen team and broader network, and build the skills and relationships needed to pursue careers in venture capital. The program is designed to expand access and create opportunities for emerging investors from a wide range of backgrounds.
About The Program
In both programs, fellows remotely shadow Halogen team members for a day-in-the-life experience in venture. Each fellow identifies key consumer trends, attends pitches, works on projects for portfolio companies and related investment opportunities, and produces an independent research study on behalf of a Halogen portfolio company.
To date we have helped 100+ students break into venture capital and land jobs at firms such as Unshackled Ventures, Insight Partners, CRV, and General Atlantic.
Halogen runs two fellowship programs each year: Halogen’s Summer Intensive Undergraduate Fellowship and Halogen’s In-Semester MBA Fellowship. The summer fellowship invites undergraduate students to join Halogen for a 4-week intensive program in July, while the in-semester MBA fellowship invites MBA students to join Halogen throughout the school year.

I had an amazing time as a Halogen MBA Fellow. I gained hands-on exposure to both venture investing and portfolio operations across a range of industries. I cannot speak more highly of the team. Jesse, Jen, Ashley, Adri, and Jolie were all so generous with their time and guidance.
The fellow cohort was also exceptional, and I now have a lasting network through the Halogen community. Most of all, I am so proud to be associated with a firm that truly believes in the power of female founders.

The Halogen MBA Fellowship is a place where you get out what you put in; I was empowered to take initiative across deal flow, portfolio strategy, and high-impact projects like M&A and IPO readiness.
The team is deeply invested in helping fellows build their own investor perspective, challenging me to refine what I value and how I evaluate opportunities.
Above all, Halogen’s mission-driven approach, supporting female founders and overlooked geographies, has been a powerful example of what it means to invest with conviction and purpose. I couldn’t recommend the Halogen Fellowship more highly to MBA’s looking to build a thoughtful, hands-on foundation in venture capital.

When I first started business school, I knew I wanted to try changing up my brand in venture, and I didn't think consumer was really within reach given my background.
But Halogen gave me a shot, which was the growth opportunity I needed, and I'm so unbelievably appreciative that I got to witness such a badass group of women supporting other badass women, literally something I'd never seen before.
Alls to say, I'm so grateful for all of the mentorship and guidance during my time at Halogen. I've been carrying that forward in my venture career.

The Halogen Fellowship was such an empowering experience and truly unlike any other VC fellowship out there. It is clear that the Halogen team is extremely dedicated to their mission of promoting diversity and equity in the venture capital industry and they are such inspiring mentors.

Through my fellowship at Halogen, I learned an incredible amount about finance and venture capital through guest speakers and special events, but most importantly, I left the summer with a new understanding of the value of women in finance and business. The women at Halogen fostered a brave, welcoming, and diverse fellowship experience. Returning to school after my Halogen fellowship, I adopted an “invest in women” mindset, stayed connected to my fellowship class, and have a clear vision of how to embed impact throughout my career.

The Halogen fellowship was a great experience, allowing me to learn the inner workings of sourcing deals, how to pitch ideas, speak to founders, and work with portfolio companies. I am so grateful to the team for all of the learnings had and relationships made throughout the program.

During my time at Halogen Ventures as an MBA Fellow, I gained deep insights into the dynamics of successful venture investments and the process of launching innovative ventures through hands-on learning from seasoned industry practitioners. Working closely with a Halogen portfolio company allowed me to apply these learnings in real-world scenarios, blending theory with practice. Moreover, engaging with undergrad fellows introduced fresh, challenging ideas that broadened and enriched my perspective.
