Venture Lab - SF Immersion is designed for students interested in pursuing a job in a venture capital firm or a growth-stage startup. We place students in an internship with a venture-related firm or a growth-stage startup in the San Francisco Bay Area. All students will be required to complete 300 hours of work with the firm over the 10 weeks of the quarter. In addition to the work required by the firm for the internship, students will spend time visiting with local companies and firms while building out a network. We will place an emphasis on tapping into the Kellogg alumni community and assisting fellow classmates in navigating the unique business and venture culture of the Bay Area. The instructor will base students' grades on internship performance, networking activity, team participation, and an end of quarter retrospective.

The course is only offered in the San Francisco Immersion Program and is required of all students who are selected into the Program. Placement at a firm or company will involve assistance from the career center, program manager, and faculty advisor.
