Venture for America, a new organization modeled after Teach for America, is recruiting recent college grads for a two-year entrepreneurship fellowship with the goal of boosting  emerging start-ups, and early-stage companies in lower-cost cities (e.g., Detroit, Providence, New Orleans).

Accepted fellows complete an extensive summer training program and are then placed with a start-up or early-stage company for two years. The application process is thorough and the selection process is competitive; VFA aims “will recruit the best and brightest college grads.”
