Venture University receives over 5,000 applications per cohort and accepts only ~45 individuals, resulting in a 0.9% acceptance rate, which is harder to achieve than gaining admission to an Ivy League school or a top MBA program. The individualswhot participate in Venture University focus on deal sourcing, investment evaluation, and doing due diligence before making their investments, and as such share in the financial upside from the investments made. After VU, the individuals go on to join and launch other investment funds, creating a proprietary investor network for deal flow and portfolio support.
