GoingVC

The GoingVC fellowship is an educational and professional development program designed for individuals seeking to break into venture capital. Fellows receive structured training in VC fundamentals, participate in deal sourcing and due diligence, and join a global network of peers. The program functions as both a workforce accelerator and a source of proprietary deal flow for the firm's investment activities.

GoingVC engages in direct venture capital investments, deploying into early-stage and growth-stage companies. The firm does not appear to operate as a fund-of-funds. Public records indicate a focus on direct equity positions sourced in part through its fellowship network.

The firm targets a range of stages from early-stage, including seed and startup rounds, through to expansion and late-stage growth investments. This stage-agnostic approach within venture capital allows flexibility in deployment, though specific check sizes are not publicly disclosed.

GoingVC's sourcing model is unusual in its integration with an educational program. Fellows in the program actively contribute to scouting and diligence, creating a distributed network that generates deal flow. This community-driven approach supplements whatever traditional GP-led sourcing the firm conducts.

GoingVC operates as a hybrid: part venture capital asset manager, part educational platform. The dual mandate means the firm allocates resources to both investment returns and the professional development of its fellowship participants. This structure is distinct from a traditional VC firm that focuses exclusively on fund management and portfolio construction.
