Santa Monica, CA - November 4, 2025 - 1752VC announced the launch of its 14th Venture Fellow cohort, further expanding its nationwide network of more than 250 Fellows—a dynamic community of founders, operators, and investors dedicated to learning venture capital from inside the fund.
Participants in the Venture Fellow and Emerging Angel programs come from diverse professional and academic backgrounds—including Harvard professors, MBA students, founders, investors, and operators—all united by a shared goal of deepening their understanding of venture investing and sourcing high-potential startups.
Over the course of eight weeks, Fellows explore the fundamentals of deal sourcing, term sheets, portfolio construction, and fund strategy through live, discussion-based sessions led by 1752VC General Partner Lucas J. Pols. The curriculum blends education with hands-on experience, empowering participants to evaluate real-world startups and contribute directly to 1752VC’s sourcing pipeline.
Activating a Nationwide Sourcing Network
1752VC’s growing Fellow network has become one of the firm’s greatest strengths—serving as an active deal-sourcing engine that connects early-stage startups with qualified investors and operators across the country.
Several external funds have recently partnered with 1752VC to tap into this ecosystem—offering Fellows cash payouts or carry incentives to identify, vet, and champion promising startups before they reach the broader market.
Voices from the Fellowship
“This case study–style discussion is great and more impactful than covering basic VC educational topics in the session. That basic knowledge can be obtained from independent reading or videos.” — Pratik Mittal
“I just had an interview for a VC position and everything Lucas has been teaching us basically made that interview a breeze, and I got the offer letter today!” — Sarah Rana, Venture Fellow Cohort 2
