FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE NAVIGATING VENTURE CAPITAL

Bet on Entrepreneurship

Virtual Information Session

EVENT INFORMATION

Tuesday, November 14 | 12 - 1pm EST | Virtual

Now in it's 3rd year, the Bet on Entrepreneurship program provides current first-year undergraduates (Class of 2027) at the University of Pennsylvania who identify as first-generation, and/or lower-income (FGLI) with a summer immersion placement at one of the participating San Francisco/Bay Area-based venture capital firms.

Selected students participate in a pre-immersion bootcamp during the Spring semester and then travel to San Francisco for an immersion experience at one of our partner SF/Bay Area VC firms. Selected students are provided with a $10,000 award to assist with travel and living expenses, and housing is provided by the BoE program.

RESERVE YOUR SEAT

The BoE program changed my perspective on diversity in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. It made me realize that what we do at the Softbank Opportunity Fund is more than just writing a check. It's growing the seed in these founders and being able to nourish their passions.
