This is an 8 week program that is meant to give a participant a great primer of the startup world. It will cover the fundamentals of startup finance, startup formation, competitive research, due diligence basics, and general startup landscape understanding. This will not only cover the startup world in general form, but it will also how Wasabi Ventures approaches doing business in the ecosystem. The goal of any participant is one of three paths: Acceptance into an EiR Bootcamp - This is an intensive 4 week program to becoming a full blown EiR. Acceptance in a Portfolio Analyst Role - A paid role at WV that calls for you to shadow a WV venture partner for 1 year. Acceptance as a Portfolio Marketing Associate - A paid role attached to WV or a portfolio company. Participation in the training program doesn't assure a participant any of these paths, but does open the opportunity to apply for those roles. If you are interested in being part of the Wasabi Ventures Academy, email wvacademy@wasabiventures.com
