Workforce Development Reimagined

In order to create the systemic change we strive to see in finance and capital allocation, we need to invest in building new infrastructure and developing new talent. Venture Partners is creating the scaffolding that equips new leaders to thrive as they build careers in Venture Capital, Philanthropy, and Community-Based Finance. We train talent from across the world in Solidarity Economy, Restorative Finance, Private Funding, and Macroeconomic Theory.

Our alumni are building the future of finance.
