About VC Lab

VC Lab is the world’s leading venture capital accelerator, dedicated to helping emerging managers launch and scale their own funds in six months or less. With over 500 firms successfully launched, VC Lab provides an intensive, online 14-week curriculum that guides participants through the entire process of building a venture capital firm—covering fund structuring, compliance, fundraising, deal sourcing, and more.

The VC Lab program is one of the most demanding in the industry, reflecting the complexity of building a successful venture capital fund. It requires significant effort, precision, and commitment, as missteps can have serious consequences. To successfully complete the program, participants must meet the following requirements:

20-30 hours per week for firm-building activities, including structured assignments that guide the fund-building process.
A first- or second-degree network of High Net Worth Individuals (HNWIs), such as ex-colleagues, friends, or alumni, who can potentially become Limited Partners.
Commitment to the Mensarius Oath, emphasizing ethical, transparent practices in all aspects of venture capital.
While a basic understanding of venture capital concepts is helpful, it is not a requirement for program admission.

Our Vision

VC Lab believes venture capital is a force for good, fueling companies that create lasting, positive change for humanity. We prioritize high ethical standards and work tirelessly to help emerging fund managers discover and fund the transformative companies that will shape our future.

Our highly selective admissions process identifies candidates with differentiated visions for markets, exceptional professional networks, or a proven track record in leadership roles. Our diverse community spans over 81 countries, representing a broad range of backgrounds and perspectives, unified by the drive to reshape the venture capital landscape.
