The MHV Fellows Program aims to provide accomplished individuals with the experience of working with a top venture capital firm investing in early-stage tech companies, in Southeast Asia. Over the course of eight to twelve weeks, the Fellows will have the opportunity to work alongside a highly dynamic and experienced team on a wide variety of projects involving early-stage investments.
The Fellows will receive hands-on training and mentorship, get to shadow the investment team during their meetings, while honing essential skills in the areas of investment due diligence. The Fellows will gain experience in research and analysis of various sectors, geographies and investment opportunities.
