Be a part of USC Venture Capital Academy.

Every semester, VCA handpicks students to join a cohort dedicated to building connections within the USC startup and venture ecosystem and beyond.

Cohort members participate in a curriculum led by a venture capitalist, building the foundations necessary to pursue careers in venture capital, from education in VC fundamentals, networking events, and socials. The semester wraps up with a capstone where cohort members present an investment pitch showcasing the knowledge they have attained.
