VFA is a program for young, talented grads to spend two years in the trenches of a start-up with the goal that these graduates will become socialized and mobilized as entrepreneurs moving forward.

The Problem.

Enterprising college graduates crave hands-on business experience to learn how to develop a business and create value. At the same time, promising early-stage businesses struggle to identify, recruit, and enlist talented college graduates because of a lack of resources, brand equity and scale to engage in on-campus recruiting.

What We Do.

Venture for America (VFA) will recruit the best and brightest college grads to work for two years at emerging start-ups and early-stage companies in lower-cost cities. VFA will provide a path for entrepreneurship to college grads who want to learn how to build companies and create jobs in the communities to which they are matched.

VFA's purpose is job generation, with a goal of 100,000 new U.S. jobs by 2025.
