Vision

The Kauffman Fellows Program curriculum is truly "evergreen" – meaning it is by design in a continuous state of refinement. The structure and content of sessions incorporate the latest lessons and ideas, transmitted direct from leading practitioners, and presented for discussion and scrutiny by the class.

Our charter is to provide a proving-ground and laboratory for rising stars in the venture investing industry. To do this we bring together not just leading venture investors (though they indeed participate as faculty, mentors, and advisors to the program) but also the wider set of key stakeholders in the innovation compact: limited partners, entrepreneurs, engineering and science thought-leaders, corporate chiefs, and policy experts from university, government, and beyond. The aim is to capture and understand how venture investing is working today, as well as envision how innovation investing will look five and ten years in the future. Learn more about this here.
