Employee Testimonials

Demographically speaking, entrepreneurship is a highly skewed career path. VFA is among the few organizations that not only recognize the difficulties many people face in becoming entrepreneurs, but also take action to lessen those difficulties in concrete ways. Rise Groups empower Fellows through like-minded identity groups, mental health issues are actively acknowledged and supported rather than swept under the rug, and portfolio companies represent founders from backgrounds as diverse as the Fellows themselves.
