Bessemer Fellowship Program

Connecting university students to great tech companies

Our Summer 2024 application is now closed.

Please check back in 2024 for updates on our next program.

 

Eligibility

A Bessemer Fellow is a special appointment for high-performing third-year college students interested in pursuing an internship in engineering, product, or data science. The program is for students who have demonstrated excellence in their academic or professional pursuits and are passionate about contributing to Bessemer’s robust entrepreneurship ecosystem.

The Bessemer Fellowship Program will appoint up to 10 fellows for Summer 2024. Applications are accepted for third-year undergraduate students in these functions. We are particularly focused on working with students from underrepresented backgrounds.

 

 

Note: This is not an analyst or venture capital internship, but instead an opportunity to work at one of the companies that Bessemer has funded. If you are looking for an internship to learn more about the world of venture capital investing, please consider applying to Bessemer’s Analyst Program.
