Description
About the 101 Fellowship
The 101 Fellowship offers ambitious people a way to get into the world of Venture Capital. VC is one of the most challenging industries to get into, so with a group of VCs, we are offering an 8-week program that includes:
- An unpaid internship at one of our participating VC funds - 15-20 hours per week and fully remotely
- Weekly learning sessions covering a broad spectrum of VC topics
- A proper inside look into how VC firms operate
- Access to our network of VCs and 101 Fellow alumni
- An opportunity to get hired - some of our previous Fellows have received job offers from the VCs!
We are not looking for any specific backgrounds. What matters is that you are enthusiastic about startups and can adapt to different tasks quickly in a self-directed way. You will work with others in the fund, but self-starters are always the ones that will go far in venture capital.
You can apply and check out participating funds on our website: www.101fellowship.com

About the company
Sisu Game Ventures
Sisu Game Ventures is an exclusive advisory and investment company focused 100% on games. It was set up in 2014 and focuses on the best gaming companies in the Nordic region. We only consider investments outside of the Nordics if they come via our own network.
The Sisu team consists of Samuli, Paul, Erik, Kalle, Moaffak, and Jere - all of whom have extensive backgrounds in the game industry and startup circles, both as entrepreneurs and investors. We've founded and built sixteen game companies since the early 90s and had several successful exits.
We like to invest very early, preferably first money in - pre-revenue and most often pre-product.
The main thing is that we invest in teams - the people making the games - not just individual IPs or metrics. In addition to money, we invest our time and expertise to help level up the company for the next phase.
The Nordic game industry is known for open collaboration and that’s a principle we hold dear also among our own portfolio companies and the investors we co-invest with. This accelerates the development of the companies giving them an extra edge over the global competition.
Sisu’s own investors come mostly from the game industry including dozens of individuals and a few game companies as well.
