Venture for America is a two-year fellowship program for recent college grads who want to work at a startup and create jobs in American cities. Fellows learn important startup skills at our five-week Training Camp, apply for jobs within our vetted company network, and work for two years as full-time, salaried employees in one of 18 cities. When Fellows are ready to start a company„be it two years after college or ten„VFA has the resources (like a crowdfunding competition, accelerator, and seed fund) to help make that dream a reality.
Our mission:
Venture for America is creating economic opportunity in American cities by mobilizing the next generation of entrepreneurs and equipping them with the skills and resources they need to create jobs.

The Problem
Enterprising college graduates crave hands-on business experience to learn how to start a business and create value. At the same time, many promising early-stage businesses struggle to identify, recruit, and enlist talented college graduates, in large part because they lack the resources, brand equity and scale to engage in on-campus recruiting.
They are headquartered at New York, NY, United States, and have 1 advertising & marketing contacts listed on Kochava. Venture For America works with Advertising technology companies such as DoubleClick.Net, Facebook Custom Audiences, LinkedIn Ads, AppNexus, Bizo, AppNexus Segment Pixel, Google Remarketing, DoubleClick Bid Manager, LiveIntent, Consent Management Platform API v 2.0, Twitter Ads.
