Venture for America works with recent college grads looking to gain valuable career experience at high growth companies in cities with emerging entrepreneurial ecosystems. In 2016, VFA expanded to our hometown of Atlanta, and we didn’t hesitate to bring to fellows on board to Search Discovery.

Fast forward to 2017, and we now have 6 fellows on our team and are looking forward to bringing more fellows on board in the future! Check out the slideshow below to learn more about our VFA fellows.
