Fall 2023: Application
You do not need venture capital, investing, finance, or startup experience. We will teach you about early-stage investing. You must have completed all the sophomore-required BBA courses prior to applying for the fund, and be enrolled as a full-time BBA student.
The fund meets as a class on Wednesdays, from 5:30pm – 7:30 pm, and is a for-credit course; it is not a student club. Attendance is mandatory.
What do we look for?
We are looking for BBA juniors who:
Will have a high level of commitment to the Zell Early Stage Fund
Have demonstrated high academic achievement at the University of Michigan
Are inclusive, tolerant, active, and reliable team members
Are mature and composed in their judgement and conduct while interacting with real-world investors and entrepreneurs
Have strong analytical (quantitative or qualitative) and communications skills
DISCLAIMER: Students cannot apply to both SVF and ZESF
Please note that you DO NOT NEED any finance, VC, or startup experience to apply!
