Blueprint Investor Track
The venture capital industry has a reputation for being homogenous and tough to break into. Together we can change that.

We’re bringing together talented Black, Latinx, and Indigenous students with an entrepreneurial mindset who want to find a community and learn from some of the best startup investors in the business.
“We are the change that we seek”
Leveraging the resources from our communities across the country, the Blueprint Investor Track is setting students up for success through:
- A curriculum crafted around the fundamentals and best practices of venture capital. Including sessions on sourcing the best companies, developing investment decision-making, venture finance, and more.
- Access to seasoned investors and fund managers with decades of combined experience.
- Mentors that are dedicated to your success and who have a wealth of knowledge to share.
- A community that is like-minded, diverse, and highly motivated. We are a value-rich community of peers and members of organizations like Dorm Room Fund, HBCUvc, and First Round Capital, as well as VC networks like BLCK VC, VCFamilia, and Latinx VC.
