"Venture for America is a program designed to recruit the best and brightest college grads to work for two years at emerging start-ups and early-stage companies in lower-cost cities (e.g. New Orleans). Modeled after Teach for America, we provide a path to entrepreneurship for college grads who want to learn how to build companies. We were recently featured in Time,The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. Its mission is threefold: To revitalize American cities and communities through entrepreneurship. To enable our best and brightest to create new opportunities for themselves and others. To restore the culture of achievement to include value-creation, risk and reward, and the common good. VFA recruits the best and brightest recent college graduates, provides them with training and mentorship, and places them at partner startups to help grow those organizations. This is an opportunity for students who want to learn how to build companies."
