Launching the Venture Cooperative’s Second Cohort
We are excited to kick off the second cohort of our Venture Cooperative program! Applications for this program will be open until Monday, 1/24.
In June of last year, we launched this first-of-its-kind program with 150+ Venture Fellows and 30+ Venture Operators. Participants in our first cohort spanned 20+ geographies, and over 60% identified as underrepresented in some way. Over the course of the program, we dove into the mechanics of early stage startup investing, managing venture funds, and leveraging innovative new funding models to support startups at the earliest stages. Perhaps most importantly, we provided hundreds of people with the opportunity to participate in investment meetings, earn upside in our fund, and make LP investments without prohibitively high minimums.
To the guest speakers who graciously shared their time and unfiltered insights with our community — thank you!
If you are interested in learning more about the Venture Fellows and Venture Operators tracks, please check out the website, FAQ, and initial announcement blog, and reach out with any questions to cooperative@laconia.vc. We can’t wait to meet you!
