Hands-on experience and industry connections for students who want to understand how the earliest bets in venture get made.
Claremont Venture Capital gives students a real introduction to how VC works: how investors source deals, evaluate startups with limited information, structure investments, and support the founders they back.
Through industry talks, hands-on projects, and pitch competitions, members build the skills and connections to break into venture.
Deal sourcing, startup evaluation, term sheets, and how partnerships actually make decisions, taught by members and guests.
Talks and conversations with practicing investors, founders, and CMC alumni working in venture. Direct exposure to the network you’ll need.
Hands-on case work, market research, and pitch competitions where members present investment theses and get feedback from the room.
We work to place members in VC internships, building relationships with funds and CMC alumni, and preparing members for the interviews that follow.
