How We Work
“Kauffman gave me a learning network that accelerated my growth and development every single day. It’s like the global VC mind, on tap, 24/7. Kauffman Fellows has a clear point of view and it’s about better. The best you, the best deal, the best approach.”

"Kauffman Fellows challenged me to strategize on firm building, and I value the guidance from their industry experts. They were supportive in raising a fund and connecting me with numerous LPs."

“Kauffman Fellows embraces diversity from many angles and deliberately brings different and important perspectives to the group. Having GPs, LPs, and ecosystem shapers in my class brought incredible value to the discussions.”

“In venture, as in life, there’s no playbook. Conviction and intuition are the most reliable tools — all areas the Kauffman Fellows program focuses on sharpening.”
