Sponsorship for VC/Growth Equity in the US

I hope all of you are doing great. I'm an international undergraduate studying in Canada and would like to know if anyone has any insights on the VC/Growth Equity firms in the US providing sponsorships and having an analyst class. I was thinking of applying to the US due to some relevant experiences I've had and it would be really helpful to know which firms could be targetted. So, they should have an analyst class, and would be great if they offer sponsorships for interns and full-time going forward, but specifically internships as of now. 

I also know that there was a list somewhere on WSO that stated the firms that had analyst classes, but would love to know if any one of you has more information on the firms in general. Much appreciated!

As for the sponsorship part, it's a bit tricky. Sponsorship policies can vary greatly from firm to firm, and they can also change over time. I would recommend reaching out directly to the firms you're interested in to get the most accurate and up-to-date information. Good luck with your applications!
