Entrepreneurs come from everywhere. Any background, geography, ethnicity, upbringing, or belief system. They are outliers, taking risks to solve big problems. Entrepreneurialism and potential are equally distributed, but venture capital is not. Included builds diverse networks within excluded entrepreneurial communities to solve this inequality. Further, Included is a life-changing 12-month venture capital program. During this program, Fellows gain education and insider access to Europe’s top venture capital firms and their portfolio companies. Fellows receive training and exposure to the world of venture capital. Further, with 1-1 mentoring, expert masterclasses, case studies, and dealflow deep dives.

Moreover, They will build bridges between their entrepreneurial community and potential sources of funding and employment. The fellowship programme will be 80% virtual and 20% location-based (there will be two summits during the programme), one in October 2019 and another in July 2020. They expect fellows to commit a minimum of 5-7 hours a month. Further, These will consist of classroom knowledge, case study reviews, peer-peer learning, one-to-one mentoring and office hours.
