How it works
Search Fund Fellows Application Process
The Search Fund Fellows application process begins with candidates submitting their initial applications. Once submitted, applicants will receive an email inviting them to complete a video interview, providing an opportunity to showcase their skills and enthusiasm. Following the completion of the video interviews, applications are reviewed by search fund entrepreneurs, who evaluate each candidate’s fit for their firms. Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis throughout the Spring.
