RippleX is an amazing program that taught me how VC's work and what they think about when investing. This was incredibly helpful as I'm a founder and currently in the middle of our seed raise. This program set me up perfectly to anticipate what to expect during this funding process. On top of that Dom, the program manager is always available for questions and to strategize even after the program ends. This program helped me feel prepared to move forward in the founder/funding space.

Developing an investing skill set that cannot be taught in the classroom, making life-long connections, and learning about then venture capital and startup world from the ground up are lessons that I have taken away from the RippleX Fellowship. This strong foundation has helped me pursue any business endeavor within my personal career.

The RippleX Fellowship encouraged me to establish the foundation for an investment mindset and formalize my existing knowledge of the due diligence process. This experience taught me about decision-making techniques that will significantly benefit me now as I manage investment teams for the largest student-led venture accelerator, during full-time in tech working with smaller ventures, and later in my career as an investor.
