The Kauffman Fellowship is a highly sought-after two-year program dedicated exclusively to the world of venture capital and the cultivation of new high-technology, high-growth, high-impact companies. Only thirty Kauffman Fellowships are offered each year; selection signals membership among an elite cadre of the world's most promising venture investors. To date, Kauffman Fellows have made $6 billion in venture capital investments, sparking growth in hundreds of new enterprises, $15 billion in annually recurring revenues, and the creation of 50,000 jobs.
The Kauffman Fellows faculty brings together leading venture capital investors, along with entrepreneurs, limited partners, engineering and science thought-leaders, corporate chiefs, and policy experts from academia and government. Each new class of Kauffman Fellows thoroughly explores the vision, risk-sharing, agility, and humility required to forge world-changing new enterprises. Unlike an academic fellowship, the Kauffman Fellowship is tuition-based. Each Kauffman Fellow works full-time at their sponsoring venture capital firm, which funds the Fellow's tuition. Kauffman Fellows and their firms engage in a practical, 24-month apprenticeship including professional coaching, mentoring by senior partners, and quarterly sessions of industry and leadership curriculum (totaling approximately 25 days) conducted in Palo Alto, California. As lifetime members of the Society of Kauffman Fellows, fellows and their firms join a trusted network in Silicon Valley and across 6 continents that links together hundreds of investment firms collectively deploying $50B in venture capital. Building on the shared values developed during the fellowship, insights are propagated, resources are made available, and opportunities get efficiently vetted and syndicated globally. -
