The InSITE Fellowship is a competitive, two-year leadership development program comprising 180 graduate students in business, law, engineering, computer science, design, and PhD post doctorate programs at Harvard, MIT, Columbia, NYU, Stanford, Georgetown as well as natural sciences and medicine at Memorial Sloan Kettering, Weil Cornell, and Rockefeller. InSITE Fellows and its 750+ alumni make up a network of entrepreneurs and leaders in technology and venture capital. Fellows partner with local, early stage technology start-ups to enhance their businesses and aid their funding efforts. The projects culminate in a pitch event in front of venture capitalists and angel investors.[1] Paul Tumpowsky was a member of InSITE's founding class and has been Chairman of the Board since 2000.[2]
History[edit]
The InSITE Fellowship was founded in New York City in 1999 by a group of Columbia and NYU students to create a real-world, hands-on experience for graduate students passionate about startups, technology and venture capital.
InSITE Fellowship programs have expanded to Boston, Silicon Valley, Washington, DC, and St. Louis.
Fellows[edit]
The program brings together students from universities and quality companies in a respective city. Fellows work with founders, or on their own business ideas, to identify challenges the businesses may face and work to overcome them. Early stage Companies benefit from experienced graduate talent (typically with significant pre-graduate school industry experience) helping them refine their businesses and products, in their effort to raise capital. This also allows Fellows to view investment opportunities through the eyes of an early stage venture investor. Investors benefit from a pre-vetted pool of companies who are prepared to raise capital. They also benefit from an engaged pipeline of highly qualified students who are a pool of future venture capital associates, founder and technical talent.[3]
