Dorm Room Fund vs GC fellows vs Contrary what is the best student vc fellowship program
Thinking in terms of ability to cut checks, mentorship from the fund, how much respect other VCs have for these programs. How good they actually are.
Also interesting are Contrary, etc
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's a comparison of student VC fellowship programs:
Dorm Room Fund
GC (General Catalyst) Fellows
Contrary
Summary
Each program has its strengths, and the best choice depends on what aspects you prioritize most.

dorm room fund is definitely seen as the most prestigious, but whichever one you want depends on your goals and how much of your time you want to commit. Just ask them what its like. I made it to final rounds/superday for all of them
DRF has fallen off a lot since the split from First Round imo
The fund is independent now with an actual LP base and their investment rigor have significantly increased then the First Round Capital days - so how is it worse...?
Not sure that "prestige" is what really matters for these student VC positions anyways, it's an eat-what-you-kill model at the end of the day no matter which one you join. DRF is a well-known program but I think any of the VC sourcing positions (at Contrary or GC) are solid
also where is everyone else at in the process?
Anyone wants to mock interview for the Dorm Room Fund? Just received a first-round interview invite yesterday.
sure
Just messaged!
