This intensive 8-week program is specifically crafted for individuals serious about building a career in climate VC or working closely with climate investors:
- Early to mid-career professionals looking to transition into climate VC
- Founders & operators in climate tech seeking to understand the VC perspective or transition to investing
- Associates or analysts at generalist VC firms seeking to specialize in climate & deeptech investing
- Corporate innovation and sustainability professionals who work closely with venture capital
- Recent technical grads interested in combining their expertise with climate investing

That is kind of the point... practical experience, career guidance, thesis design & networking to advance your venture capital career.

All 4WARD courses & training programs are designed & led by industry practitioners (in this case leading VCs) & built around real world examples & case studies (actual investments & due diligence) to make the learnings & experience as tailored to practical real world value as possible.

Live learning modules and VC interviews will be provided free of charge.
‍
The entire course costs $700 and paying members will have access to full course experience including:
- access to all coursework, assignments & additional resources
- weekly live group workshops & office hours
- investment thesis development project & investor feedback
- hands-on investment career support
- final personal VC roadmap project

We are biased towards action, practical skills & hands-on learning. Rather than focus purely on high-level concepts or theoretical problems, 4WARD courses & fellowships emphasize learning by doing & solving real-world problems to the major challenges facing humanity.

Because companies demand real results, practical experience & operational know-how of their organisation & job applicants - because theory doesn't cut it in the real world.

And we need more people & skilled professionals actively working on climate & sustainability solutions, not merely discussing hopeful scenarios. Mobilising the critical workforce of tomorrow requires actually doing work.

The program will begin in Jan/Feb of 2025 and last 5 intensive weeks followed by 3 weeks of personal career & investment thesis projects + presentations.

The course consists of two hours of live sessions, interviews & workshops per with additional due diligence, research & networking assignments, reading/materials & resources for paid participants.

Expect to spend at least 5-8hrs/week throughout the 8-week course for maximum results.
