The Rock Summer Fellows program, funded by gifts from Arthur Rock and the John F. Lebor Family, provides a chance for students during the summer between their RC (first-year) and EC (second-year) year to focus on their new venture, working for a startup or learning about venture capital.
The programming will primarily focus on the “How to” of starting a venture and work to translate theory into practice. We will hold optional sessions to review best practices, common mistakes and tools and approaches to determining if you and your startup or the startup you are working for are moving in the right direction. Students will spend the summer independently working on your their startup, meeting customers, developing tactics, and meeting with experts.
Through a 10-12 week summer fellowship that provides substantial financial support as well as a peer network and community, RC students can work on their venture idea or work at an early-stage startup. Fellowships are limited in number and awarded based on the order in which your application is received.
