Five years ago I joined Floodgate‘s Building Breakthrough program. I had already been living in Silicon Valley for a while and working in venture capital, but I was still looking for my people.
That’s where I met Iris, a Partner at Floodgate, the fund behind Twitter, Twitch, and Lyft. And Linda, one of the most thoughtful entrepreneurial people I’ve ever met, from Stanford. Both became my best friends. Both became my personal board of advisors. That one program changed everything for me. I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since.
Today I’m launching G-Fellows, the most ambitious VC and founder fellowship for undergraduate students. Not another club. Not another certificate. Real mentorship from the most cracked investors and founders in the game. Yes, investors can be cracked too.
I want you to meet your next best friend, your co-founder, your co-GP. The person who will be in your corner for the rest of your career.
To the advisors who believed in us early and sharing their time, you have no idea how much impact you are making. Thank you.
And to my Founding Fellow Siya, without you, this program would still be living in my head. You helped make it real. Your early conviction means everything to me. I can’t wait to watch you win.
