I joined the first cohort for the RippleX fellowship in 2019 and although I was very active in the tech/student entrepreneurial ecosystem in my university, I found it challenging to enter the VC space. This program taught me the essentials of venture capitalism from scratch; from having experienced professionals evaluate my investment proposals to learning about amazing startups from other fellows around North America, the exposure I got as a RippleX fellow is unmatched.
Ripple ventures and Dom have created a one-of-a-kind program. From the hands-on mentorship to weekly speaker series, the fellowship program provided an incredible bridge of knowledge. I would highly recommend this program to any aspiring VC or Founder.
The Ripple Fellowship Program was a real catalyst for me in the Toronto VC space. Great opportunity to make connections and learn from some incredible thinkers at Ripple. If you are on the fence - take the leap and give this program a shot!
I initially joined RippleX to learn about VC, but came out of it with transferable skills for my career in tech too. My experience with Dom and the hands-on learning provided in the program was incredibly insightful - viewing companies from the other side of the table as a VC brought newfound perspective and insight for me!
