2022 Venture For America Fellow
About Venture For America:
Venture For America is a two-year Fellowship program for recent grads interested in entrepreneurship who want to work at a startup or high-growth business and create impact in American cities. Fellows apply for jobs within our private job portal, learn important startup skills starting at our summer Training Camp, and work for two years as full-time, salaried employees in one of 13 cities. Throughout the Fellowship and after, VFA provides regional and national programming to help Fellows grow into startup leaders and turn their business ideas into reality.
Why Venture For America?
Entrepreneurship is on the decline. America’s entrepreneurship rate has fallen by almost half for college graduates, but it’s a key driver of job and wealth creation. Entrepreneurship also improves productivity, spurs innovation, and solves problems facing consumers. But when individuals do choose to pursue careers in this sector, they encounter hurdles.
-Less than 5% of investment in 2020 went to female-founded companies
-Less than 1% of early venture funding goes to Black women
-80% of venture capital is focused in three geographic markets, leaving other parts of the nation competing for remaining funds
Venture For America seeks to change that. We envision a country where anyone who wants to be an entrepreneur can be. We invest in recruiting a fellowship class that is diverse and represents our nation and, ultimately, aim to serve as an onramp to entrepreneurship for historically underrepresented groups. Since 2012, we have placed nearly 1,400 Fellows and Alumni in roles at more than 500 startups, high-growth companies, and ecosystem support organizations. In our 2021 class, 51% of Fellows identify as women or gender non-conforming and 57% identify as a person of color. Our 2021 Fellows attend over 90 colleges and universities and majored in over 65 different subjects.
By joining Venture For America you will:
-Acquire firsthand experience working in a startup as a full-time, salaried employee
-Gain tangible professional development and leadership training through our summer Training Camp, regional and national programming
-Work, learn, and grow alongside a community of entrepreneurial-minded Fellows
-Access long-term resources and programming to help you become a startup leader or founder

-Baltimore
-Birmingham
-Charlotte
-Cleveland
-Detroit
-Kansas City
-Miami
-New Orleans
-Philadelphia
-Pittsburgh
-San Antonio
-St. Louis

Compensation and Benefits:
Though VFA provides ongoing programming and resources for members of our Fellowship community, Fellows are full-time employees of our Company Partners. The average salary for 2021 Fellows was $49,700. Fellows also receive the same benefits as other employees at their company. We recognize that personal finances vary from person to person, so additional funding for relocation may be available through Venture For America.
Requisites to Apply:
-You are early in your career (completed your undergraduate degree in the last three years) or will complete your undergraduate degree by June 2022. Exceptions can be made to this criteria for certain circumstances.
-Be a US citizen, permanent resident, DACA recipient, or hold other work authorization through June 2024

ProsperUs Detroit
Organization Overview
ProsperUs Detroit is a community economic development organization that infuses low-to-moderate
income communities with services and capital to support income generation, business growth, and
neighborhood revitalization from within. We do this in partnership with community organizations,
residents, local and national stakeholders, and, most importantly, entrepreneurs.
Our core programming includes:
- Entrepreneur Training: We help emerging business owners get started with business planning
classes and one-on-one support. Focused on the entrepreneur, we provide 12 classroom
sessions at a community partner site paired with ten hours of one-on-one support that teaches
the fundamentals of business and address specific needs. - Business Services: We help entrepreneurs connect to professional service providers and provide
grants to support their investment in projects. Through intentional investments on our part, we
connect business owners with trusted providers who are skilled in legal, marketing, graphic
design, accounting, and several more services. - Microlending: We provide access to capital through a relationship-based lending process
designed to meet entrepreneur needs. Through trusted relationships, we coach business owners
every step of the way to secure a loan that fits their needs regardless of their previous financial
experiences.
For the last ten years, ProsperUs has served as a catalyst for small business development in
neighborhoods. We have partnered with community members, neighborhood organizations, and
resource providers to respond to the needs of emerging and experienced entrepreneurs in our
community to serve over 1300 entrepreneurs. We are energized and inspired by neighborhood business
leaders and work to ensure they have the resources needed to succeed.
Project Proposal Description
For the last several months, ProsperUs Detroit has been the lead organization for the Anchor Business
Project. A collaboration with the New Economy Initiative (NEI), this is a pilot project that infuses
selected businesses with capital ($25K grants) and is pairing that with coordinated coaching and
technical assistance (TA) ($6,250 TA budget). The coaching and TA are a partnership between ProsperUs
and community development organizations (CDOs) where we intend to examine the impact on the
experiences of businesses, business owners, and commercial corridors. This project is managed by
ProsperUs on behalf of The Kresge Foundation in partnership with NEI. Our CDO partners include
Grandmont Rosedale Development Corporation, Jefferson East, Inc., Live6 Alliance, Midtown Detroit,
Inc., NW Goldberg Cares, Osborn Neighborhood Alliance, and Southwest Detroit Business Association.
The pilot nature of this project means that ProsperUs is extremely interested in what we can learn from
and build into future opportunities. We are seeking a Duke Community Intern to support with project
evaluation measures including, but not limited to:
- Creating, interpreting, and analyzing survey data and results;
- Performing interviews with business owners, CDO partners, and coaches;
- Interpreting and analyzing interview content;
- Creating storytelling mechanisms for project outcomes; and,
- Supporting the project management of technical assistance project budgets.
Target Outcomes
ProsperUs and NEI are thrilled for this opportunity for collaboration with partners throughout the city.
We are hopeful that the results of this pilot will bolster other initiatives of this kind in additional
neighborhoods in Detroit as well as other cities nationally. To support this aspiration, this project will:
- Create valuable datasets and associated analysis;
- Value multiple “ways of knowing” by utilizing multiple evaluation methods;
- Develop storytelling collateral (interviews, recordings, video, photography); and
- Contribute to the overall ethos of collaboration and community.
